讲述了四位挚友在追逐梦想的过程中不得不面对现实的冲击的故事。

In this four and a half hour documentary or filmic tavelogue, Ulrike Ottinger tries to impart new ways of seeing a foreign culture. "In my previous films I have dealt with the themes of exoticism, minorities and their differing role behaviour within their own culture. Now I am interested in expanding this theme, in getting to know a 'real exoticism' in a foreign land and in a different culture. I am attempting to conduct a visual discourse with my camera about exoticism as a question of point-of-view. 　　In making the film, I was influenced by Chinese naturepainting: by the use of the scroll, which not only demands a different method of painting, but a different way of viewing - rolling out the scroll, focusing in on details, wandering to and fro, viewing piecemeal. So if I was filming a market square, for example, I'd pan very slowly and steadily across the square, rather than trying to capture the image in toto. 　　– Ulrike Ottinger

艾拉·韦伯似乎既拥有一切，又一无所有。她在总部位于圣地亚哥的美国连锁餐厅 Bistro Bon Vivant 担任菜谱开发人员，工作不错。然而，他们提供的是“假”法国菜，这违背了她真正喜欢美食的感受。她有一位慈爱的母亲，房地产经纪人劳里·韦伯，她总是试图让她过上稳定的生活，对劳里来说，这意味着艾拉要再次购买公寓，这违背了艾拉的感受。在经历了几次挫折后，艾拉感到心神不宁，她决定立即休假，重新振作起来，这有点让人回想起她 22 岁时最喜欢的假期记忆：去巴黎吃她最喜欢的奶酪。这次在巴黎，她发现奶酪同样具有变革性，尤其是与餐厅供应的塑料奶酪相比，而不是与脾气暴躁的奶酪贩子相比。但她在克洛蒂尔德·奥伯格尔身上找到了志趣相投的人，克洛蒂尔德从她那里租了一套公寓，供她住两周。克洛蒂尔德说服她，要想找到自我，她应该在巴黎呆三个月。克洛蒂尔德英俊的表弟、餐厅评论家加斯顿·奥伯格尔向她表达了浪漫的兴趣，这让她更容易做出这个决定。尽管艾拉知道她在巴黎的逗留即将结束，而且加斯顿自认有点花心，但他们还是开始了一段恋情。这次延期让艾拉有机会在奶酪店尝遍三百种奶酪。最终，奶酪贩子给她提供了一份在店里的兼职工作，她认识了奶酪贩子。他是塞尔日·佩勒林，一位前律师，为了找到像艾拉一样具有变革性的好奶酪而进入奶酪行业。随着艾拉时间的流逝，她可能会发现她在生活中寻找什么和谁，而她是否能得到后者，实际上取决于她和这个人是否能克服误会。—哈戈
