Lui, un jeune artiste peintre français, retourne dans la ville de Strasbourg, six ans après sa première venue lors de laquelle il a rencontré Sylvie, un soir au Bar des Aviateurs. Obsédé par ce souvenir, il erre, avec l'espoir de retrouver cette femme, dans les différents lieux de l'autre capitale européenne, ville cosmopolite, mais froide, où il ne réussit pas à entrer en contact avec les gens, se contentant d'en dessiner des esquisses sur son carnet à croquis.Actors
