Explorer Destinies has decided to put together a list of movies, books, plays and music that we feel close to the theme of our blog. We look at them not through the eye of an art critic, but through the eye of a traveler that discovered a great place and wants to share it with the others.

This movie from Richard Linklater (1996) with a sequel 10 years after features the exuberance of the so called generation X and of the 90s, a generation that enjoyed freedom.
A French girl and an American young man meet in a train going to Vienna and decide spontaneously to spend the day together. Before sunrise each of them would continue their trip home, but the magic of this one day in Vienna will remain. All behind the long chats about life and youth there is the image of Vienna, the idea of traveling, discovering, sharing intercultural experiences. In short, a snapshot of "that moment when you really know somebody".
In the sequel Before Sunset (2006) the couple meets for the second time in Paris. During the long walk in Paris (that almost seems real time) we see how world have changed, how mobility increased in 10 years and, of course, how life changed for the two characters.
