Jesse, an American man, coincidentally meets Celine, a French woman, on a cruise around Europe. His destination is Vienna, from where he will fly back to the US the next morning. She is on her way back to France to begin a new semester. They fall in love at first sight. They chat and get along so well that they forget to eat. Then, upon arriving in Vienna, he tries to persuade her to spend the rest of the evening with him; they will stroll around the city until dawn, at which point he must leave. Before Sunrise is a rare romantic film that isn't overly sentimental. When love is at its peak, any small situation becomes a memorable moment...
