It's 1957 Venezuela. Walter Faber (Sam Shepard) is a world-weary engineer. He is reluctant to board his plane which ultimately crash-lands in the desert. He seems to be followed by a German who may have a connection to his past. After returning home to NYC, he takes a ship to Europe and meets Elisabeth Piper (Julie Delpy). He has a fling with her but there is more than one way to be connected to the young lady.
I'm surprised that Walter isn't named Rex. Their age difference is a bit awkward but nothing compares to the final reveal. Julie Delpy is completely alluring with innocence, mystery, depth, and Frenchness. She brings that Before energy with her. Sam Shepard is able to avoid dirty old man territory with his sincerity.
