 Lisa is going to Munich in the night train, to start training for a career in fashion; Martin is a young artist. They talk, and romance is in the air. Arriving at Munich station they agree to meet later that day in Marienplatz, the central square. Comes the time, and the square is full of thousands of people: they didn t realise that today is Fasching, the Bavarian carnival. They miss one another, in the crowd, and all seems lost. They try to trace each, with only small scraps of information, and at first their efforts seem to make things worse, in a series of near misses when they are close to meeting up.
