The film is about love, but NOT actually. The majotiry of the film, the main heroine Nora is looking for love. And it is LOVE that she is looking for and not just love for one night. Nevertheless, her search does not seem healthy due to the fact that she takes pills and gets drunk all the time. Her life motto is: “Life is shit”.

Another romance ends as a sudden crash of her high ideals and becomes the crash of all her life. Nora meets a beautiful man called Julienne .He becomes as interested in her as she is in him. Nora knows the failures that she had faced and her only desire becomes to have her new “man” on the “leash”. Nevertheless, the ice between them breaks and Julienne turns out to be a caring, honest person. Happiness seems to be so close, but something is just not right. The main reason for that is the fact that Julienne has to go back to France, and the only thing he leaves after him is his address and telephone in Paris.

Nora tries to not pay attention to this; her life goes back to its habitual and gloomy track. Nora gets tired of everything and grabs her best friend in order to go to Paris to look for the only love of her life. The only problem lies in the fact that she loses the paper with the coordinates of Julienne. And even when she runs out of money she still stays honest to her dream.  She seems to lose everything and on her way back he meets the only person she could meet – HIM! She get her one in a million chance and wins it.

This is the film for those who need to realize the real source of happiness. It is like in the song “Broken English” by Marianne Faithfull. If you miss your plane – you will miss you whole life.

This is a movie that gives birth to harmony and the flight of feelings.  This film makes the viewer feel very strange emotions.  The story of the 30 year old New York dweller reveals a full absence of her personal life, her loneliness and her alcohol addiction. Alcohol is actually a substitute of a man and any kind of company for her or any other man in her life.  Nora becomes a torture for herself: she thinks about her age and the fact that its very hard to get married after 30 years old.   This simply irritates the viewer: she does not fight for Julienne as she just does not simply understand what she really wants.  She meets Julienne that is beautiful, charismatic, kind and enamored.  Nevertheless, Nora needs MORE! She takes her time and exhausts him with her conversations about getting old and that she is not the girl she used to be. Nora seems to be too pessimistic to build a healthy romance.

It does not really matter how old you are because the goal of life is chosen by each person himself.  Nora makes the viewer want to cream: “If you feel happy now – than it does not matter how old you are and what will happen later”.

Of course when you are after your 30^th, life is different: more unscrupulous and severe. But Nora strives for more! The psychic instability of the character dictates the proceeding events.  Even when Nora meets her “LOVE” she still doubts it but nevertheless she leaves everything for HIM. Is this courage or recklessness? The movie is neither dynamic nor funny but it possesses a shade of sadness.

Nora is SO not “American” that it creates a firm perception of sympathy with her: she does not only shows how a good relationship is born, but how love is born into life. Nora is afraid of losing, she is afraid of pain, she makes the man afraid of her weakness, but he nevertheless comes back because….he LOVES her.  It is a movie about a woman that is afraid to risk her life because she can still feel pain and she is afraid to change her life.

This movie teaches a lesson – if you are not brave enough to take responsibility – you can lose the LOVE of your LIFE. The first thing to do in order to learn how to love – is to learn how to love your own self. This is the key to getting the internal balance and calmness. Therefore when the destiny throws her a chance, Nora learns how to be open and sincere for the first time in her life!
