Before Sunset

My Take

Nine years later. He wrote a book about that night. She shows up at his reading in Paris. He has a life. She has a life. Neither life is the one they wanted. Someone is about to make a decision they probably shouldn't and you're going to root for them anyway.

▶Official Synopsis

Nine years later, Jesse travels across Europe giving readings from a book he wrote about the night he spent in Vienna with Celine. After his reading in Paris, Celine finds him, and they spend part of the day together before Jesse has to again leave for a flight. They are both in relationships now, and Jesse has a son, but as their strong feelings for each other start to return, both confess a longing for more.
