Plot – Harry and Sally meet in 1977. He claims that the friendship between a man and a woman can't last without sex and she is quite shocked, because Harry is the boyfriend of a friend of hers. It is just the beginning of a game of hide and seek which involves them for eleven years. Life, after teasing them, makes them realize that they have always loved each other.
