Here is the synopsis for “Before Midnight”:

An American father, Jesse (Ethan Hawke), is seeing off his son, Hank (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick), at the Kalamata Airport in Greece. Hank’s returning to his mother and life in the U.S. after spending the “best summer ever” with Jesse and his family. The middle-schooler is more composed than his 40ish father who hovers anxiously as their separation draws near.

Geography weighs heavily on Jesse. Outside the airport, he rejoins his family: Celine (Julie Delpy) and their young twin daughters Ella and Nina (Jennifer and Charlotte Prior). As they drive through the austerely beautiful rocky hillsides of Messinia, Jesse and Celine talk about living so far from Hank, her career as an environmentalist, hopes for a new job and the swirl of ancient and modern Greece around them.

Jesse hints at wanting to move back to America from their home in Paris, but Celine has done her U.S. time. They lived in New York for a spell and she has no wish to return. Their long history together bubbles between them.

Jesse’s a successful novelist and they’re in Greece at a writer’s retreat. They’re staying in the bucolic country villa of an older expat writer Patrick (Walter Lassally). Jesse’s given to flights of creative fancy that charm the assembled company. But Celine – whose own past has played a starring role in Jesse’s semi-autobiographical novels – is perhaps a bit weary of serving as alluring French muse to Jesse’s fiction career.

As a treat, their Greek friends have gifted Jesse and Celine with a night at a luxurious seaside hotel while they babysit the twins. Feeling the undercurrent of friction between them, Celine wants to beg off, but their friends insist. They set off on foot through the spectacular countryside – meandering through meadows and villages while enjoying each other’s company and talking, teasing, debating and flirting.

What does a long-term couple do in a sleek hotel room besides throw off their worries, responsibilities, clothes and make love? But for Jesse and Celine, realities intrude: the weight of children, work, ambitions, disappointments; the ebb and flow of romantic love; and the strains of an evolving, deepening relationship. Their idyllic night tests them in unexpected ways.
