A young man and woman meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together.
Violette, a 40-year old workaholic with a career in the fashion industry falls for a provincial computer geek, Jean-Rene, while on a spa retreat with her best friend.

..... but i enjoyed every minute. chris rock is always fun and funny and the actress playing his wife pulls off her character to perfection.

be prepared to get lost reading the English subtitles of the French speaking visitors. i could hardly keep up! but the story and characters draw you in and the viewer is compelled to become intellectually involved with the wife and her anxieties.
this is a weird and delightful film and very unlike what you would expect from American corporate movie makers.
