Roxanne (Wookie Mayer) is in a steady relationship with a man whose foibles are beginning to wear thin with her. When she spots Karl (August Zimer) in a chance meeting, she is practically thunderstruck. Seeing him makes her believe in true love again. She begins to try and track him down, but everywhere she goes, he has always just left. Likewise, Karl is married and has a child, but feels that his wife is not a good parent. When he sees Roxanne, he also feels that true love is once again a meaningful concept. He, too, starts to try and find this person who embodies so much for him. He, too, finds it impossible to get together with her.
