Before... Collection

Jesse, an American traveler, convinces Celine, a French student, to spend a spontaneous day with him in Vienna. As time slips away, their brief encounter deepens into an emotional connection. With morning approaching and no promise of a future, their fleeting bond is tested by the limits of time and chance.

Nine years after a brief romance in Vienna, Jesse and Celine reunite in Paris with only an hour before his flight. As they walk the city, memories resurface and old questions re-emerge, revealing how one night shaped their lives. Confronting time lost and feelings unresolved, they face the pull of past connection and present reality.

The third film in Richard Linklater's "Before..." trilogy jumps forward nine years: Jesse and Celine are married with two daughters, headed for a vacation in Greece. The couple's ability to talk to each other honestly is the trademark of the trilogy, but this time Jesse and Celine cover their intimacy and the challenges of the passage of time and marriage. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy reprise their characters with ease, and you definitely have to join them to know their final outcome.
