 Story

Jesse and Celine are the French-American couple who once met on a train in Vienna eighteen years ago. Now they live in Paris with twin daughters, but have spent a summer in Greece on the invitation of author colleague of Jesse’s. When the vacation is over and Jesse must send his teenage son off to the States, he begins to question his life decisions and his relationship with Celine is at risk.

Jesse is a successful novelist, while Céline is at a career crossroads, considering a job with the French government.
The couple discuss their concerns about Hank (he is a Jesse’s son from fist marriage) and then about Céline's choices for her career. Over dinner they talk more about love and life. Friends staying with them pay for a hotel room so they can have a night alone. While walking to the hotel, the couple reminisce about coming together. After reaching the hotel, they have a fierce argument, expressing fears about their present and future together. Among other issues, Jesse wants them to move to Chicago so he can be closer to Hank, which Céline thinks will cost her any chance of a life outside her family. In the heat of the argument, Céline tells Jesse she no longer loves him.

Céline leaves their room and sits alone in the hotel's outdoor restaurant. Jesse joins her and jokes that he is a time traveler bringing her a letter from her 82-year-old self, describing this night as one of the best of their lives. Unamused, Céline says their fantasies will never match the imperfect reality. Jesse proclaims his love, saying he does not know what else she could want. After a moment, Céline joins in Jesse's joke, and the two seem to reconcile.

This is incredible and fascinating movie about relationship but also the movie want to show us marvelous views in Greece. The background is a contrast between unstable and chaotic relation two people and calm and leisured life in beautiful Greece. Also I have to tell about music which perfect fit to this place and situation.
I recommend everybody how wants regroup about life in relationship and for people who want to change something in their life.
