The first act, set in turn-of-the-century Vienna, follows two wealthy socialites who swap their gilded lives for the bohemian allure of poverty, chasing fleeting romance in a world of ennui and deception.

Stern's clever direction balances humor and heartache, creating a film that's as sharp as it is charming, with themes of escapism, desire, and the illusions we cling to in love.
