"Alright, I have an admittedly insane idea, but if I don't ask you this, it's just, uh, you know, it's gonna haunt me the rest of my life." - Jesse

Why watch this? American boy meets French girl on a train - Simple, impulsive, irrational and sweet.

Plot Summary: Two strangers, Jesse and Celine, who meet on a train in Europe. Jesse, an American, convinces Celine, a French student, to spontaneously disembark with him in Vienna to spend the night together before his flight the next morning. They explore Vienna, engaging in deep conversations about life and love, and developing a strong connection despite knowing their time together is limited.

Dad's Preview: This is one of the most honest, enduring romance films I have ever encountered. This refreshing story consists mostly of their candid conversations. It's unforced, intimate and incredibly real.
