After they hit it off on a train bound for Vienna, the Paris university student Celine (Delpy) and the scrappy American tourist Jesse (Hawke) impulsively decide to spend a day together before he returns to the U.S. the next morning. As the pair roam the streets of the stately city they experience the first awkward stirrings, as well as the uncertainty and intoxication, of young love.

The first instalment in the magnificent Before Trilogy, Richard Linklater's (Boyhood) film is a beautifully shot indie classic.
