In Before Sunrise, the romance of a generation sparks suddenly when a wayfaring wannabe writer from America (Ethan Hawke) convinces a fetching Parisian college student (Julie Delpy) to disembark with him for a whirlwind trip through Vienna. The pair amble through the city’s streets, hopping from one landmark to the next as they wax poetic about their expectations in love and life knowing full well that their blossoming romance comes with fast approaching expiration date.
