Plot – French girl Celine is traveling from Budapest to Paris and meets Jesse, who has to catch a plane in Vienna to return to America. Celine agrees to spend the night wandering through Vienna with him and they talk all the night about many different topics, from their emotional experiences to the fear of death, from wars to reincarnation. They are invited by two actors to a play, then they go into a music store, they visit Vienna's cemetery of the nameless, then they take a ride on the big wheel in the Prater. The couple then encounters a bizarre street poet and a foretelling who reads Celine's palms. In a church they question themselves about faith and Jesse talks about a Quaker marriage he has assisted to. Finally they reveal their mutual sentimental failures, they have lunch in a restaurant and spend the night kissing in the park. At the moment of departure, they swear to meet after six months.
