What happens

Barcelona is a 1994 American romantic comedy-drama film written, produced, and directed by Whit Stillman. Set in Barcelona, the film stars Taylor Nichols, Chris Eigeman, and Mira Sorvino. Barcelona is the second film—after Metropolitan (1990) and preceding The Last Days of Disco (1998)—in what Stillman calls his "Doomed Bourgeois in Love" series. The three films are independent of each other except for the cameo appearances of some common characters. Barcelona was released by Fine Line Features on July 29, 1994. The film received positive reviews from critics and grossed $7.2 million against a $3.2 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
