Investment bank manager FRANK BERNDSSEN (c. 40), based in Berlin, believes life to be just a matter of careful advance planning. Currently, he works for a Swiss investor group keen on taking over the French nation-wide meat production chain of Charcuteries Albert. If everything turns out well, Frank's bank will earn billions, and he'll be promoted to a director's post. He just needs the French side to agree to his plan, which is why he's on his way to Paris. While still at Airport Berlin-Tegel waiting to check in, Frank's progress is slowed to a standstill by chaotic author PATRIZIA MUNZ (beginning 30s), who wishes to board the plane under all circumstances, although the flight is overbooked in the economy class. Patrizia, an upcoming novelist, has forgotten her credit cards, when she received a phone call just an hour ago from a Paris clinic. Her lover, Parisian architect JEAN-JACQUES SECRETIN lies in a coma, heavily injured in a car crash. Frank, queuing nervously behind her, loans to Patrizia the cash she needs for the upgrade of her economy-class ticket. On the flight in business class, they make hesitant but ineffective efforts to do smalltalk and then leave each other alone. 劇情。 法兰克是处理国际并购事业的银行家，当他们到达后各忙各，却分别都面临着意想不到的曲折处境。女作家赶抵医院，见到男友床边的是自称他太太的法国女人芳丝华，她容忍让她靠近床边探视丈夫。与此同时，法兰克帮瑞士投资集团的并购案也发生问题，恐造成银行风暴，黯然离开巴黎。 原本各自拥有完美生活的他和她，在人生最灿烂的时刻失去所有。命运偶然让他们又在德国机场相逢，复在巴黎相知相惜，再谱一次诙谐浪漫的异国恋曲，重新体认男欢女爱与生命的无限契机。
