Before sunrise

 Before sunrise is a 1955 romantic drama film directed by Richard

 Linklater and written by Linklater and Kim Krizan. The film follows

 Jesse (Ethan Hawke), a young American, and Celine (Julie Delpy), 

 a young French woman, who meet on a train and disembark in Vienna, 

where they spend the night walking around the city and getting to know

 each other.

The plot is minimalist, since aside from walking and

 talking, not much happens. The two characters' ideas and

 perspectives on life and love are detailed. Jesse is a romantic

 disguised as a cynic and Céline is seemingly a romantic, albeit with 

some doubts. Taking place over the course of one night, their limited 

time together is always on their minds, and leads to their 

revealing more about themselves than they normally would, since both 

believe they will never see one another again.

Jesse and Céline make an appearance in Linklater's 2001 film 

waking life. A 2004 sequel, Before Sunset, picks up the story

 nine years after the events of the first film, and a 2013 sequel,

 Before Midnight, picks up the story eighteen years on.
