Johann, a museum attendant in the famous Vienna Art Museum, meets Anne, a foreign visitor. Anne is in Vienna to see her dying cousin and ends up in the museum as an escape. Their meetings bring them closer together and make them find out more about their own lives as well as how works of art can reflect and form experiences.
