法力塔(凯瑟琳·德纳芙 Catherine Deneuve 饰)是一名精明强干的记着,有过一段失败的婚姻。在告别了上一段感情之后,她的情感生活一直都是一片空白。费尔南是法力塔的老同学,在法力塔恢复单身之后,他一直苦苦的追求着她,但是在法力塔看来,自己和费尔南的性格并不是非常的合拍,为了避免悲剧重演,法力塔对费尔南敬而远之。 通过费尔南,法力塔得知自己以前的同学菲利普曾经痴痴的喜欢过自己,现在细细想来,菲利普似乎是法力塔再度开启感情生活的最合适的人选。费尔南将菲利普的地址给了法力塔,很快两人就取得了联系,约定在帝国大厦见面。People and life can be cruel, and in their face, Fannette is cool: toward an old acquaintance, to her daughter, to colleagues. Beneath the surface, she roils with passion for a lost love, Philippe. She watches "An Affair to Remember" again and again, and when she receives a letter from Philippe asking her to meet him atop the Empire State Building, she swoons. She's writing a book on an aged painter, so she organizes a trip to New York ostensibly to secure photographs of some of his pieces. The publisher assigns her a photographer, Matt, on the surface spontaneous and flip, but also aggressive about his attraction to her. Will she be with the one she loves? Will she smile?
