讲述一对美国夫妇去参加圣塞巴斯蒂安电影节，却双双出轨：妻子和一个有才华的法国导演发生婚外情，丈夫爱上了一个漂亮的当地女子。
The film tells the story of an American couple attending the San Sebastian International Film Festival. The charm of that small city in the North of Spain and the charm of the world of cinema soon seduce the couple. She has a slip with a brilliant French film director, while he falls in love with a young Spanish resident in the city.
Reluctantly, Mort Rifkin, a disenchanted New York City film critic and perpetually uninspired novelist, finds himself attending the annual San Sebastián International Film Festival as the plus-one of his elegant, successful, press-officer wife Sue. as her plus-one. She has her hands full organizing the schedule of her lofty French auteur protégé Philippe, so neurotic Mort whiles away the time wandering around the picture-perfect resort town and trying to become friends with local cardiologist Dr Jo Rojas, convinced that they don't make movies like they used to. However, the heart wants what it wants, and as he re-envisions the work of the great European masters--such as François Truffaut, Ingmar Bergman, Jean-Luc Godard, Federico Fellini, and Luis Buñuel--Mort's black-and-white celluloid dreams come to life. Can life become exciting again at Rifkin's Festival?
