The movie tells the story of Jesse (Hawke), an American traveler, and Celine (Delpy), a French student, who meet on a train to Vienna and decide to spend the night exploring the city together.

The film is known for its naturalistic dialogue, which captures the spontaneity and intimacy of the characters' conversations. It explores themes of romance, identity, and the fleeting nature of human connections.
"Before Sunrise" was well-received by critics and has since become a cult classic. It spawned two sequels, "Before Sunset" (2004) and "Before Midnight" (2013), which continue to follow the relationship between Jesse and Celine as they navigate the challenges of adulthood and long-distance love.
