action
Charlie Bellow is reserved, shy and leads a rather boring life, which he has already planned carefully. He studies economics and later wants to work for a large company, the Tiller King Company . This is what his parents expect of him too. He currently lives in a small apartment in New York City with his friend Leo. Charlie doesn't have that much experience with women. That's why Leo tries again and again to persuade him to approach a woman and ask her out on a date .
He meets Jordan on a subway station. She leans over the railing, drunk. Charlie can just save her before the train arrives. When he wants to go again and looks back, he realizes that he can't just leave Jordan there. Since he doesn't know who she is or where she lives, he takes her to his apartment to sober up. As a result, she keeps calling him to make an appointment. It turns out that the two are just the opposite of each other. It's cheeky, chaotic, crazy, funny and crazy, everything Charlie isn't, so to speak. At first he thinks she is a selfish, constantly drunk woman. However, he changes his mind about her more and more. He's starting to like her in a way he never expected. The reason for their alcohol addiction also becomes known. Her fiancé - as it turns out at the end of the film, Charlie's cousin - has died recently and her life has turned out of joint.
Confused by her feelings, or perhaps it was her feelings of guilt that made her act like this, she decides not to see him for a whole year. She hopes that this year her wounds will heal and she can get on with life normally with Charlie. Because she firmly believes that fate determined everything beforehand. So she asks Charlie to write a letter stating how he feels about her. She does the same for him herself. They hide the letters in a cocktail shaker in Central Park . In the following year they do not hear from each other. Charlie uses the year to improve in everything he usually did with Jordan. He improves in squash , kendo and learns to crawl . Not a day goes by that he does not think of Jordan. His roommate says this whole thing is not doing Charlie well and that he should finally let go. Leo eventually persuades him to go out with ten women within that year. But he doesn't like any like Jordan did.
When the year is finally over, Charlie can't wait to go to Central Park to see Jordan again. He waits and waits, but she does not show up. When it starts to seem pointless, he has to admit that it won't come.
Only a day later does she get up at the agreed meeting point. When she gets there, an old man is sitting next to the tree under which they had buried their letters. Jordan tells him the story of Charlie and her. The man tells her she should finally read his letter, he'll definitely make her cry.
Jordan fears she will never see Charlie again. But apparently fate means well with her. Because the mother of her late fiancé, Charlie's aunt, arranged a meeting between the two of them. She had actually planned to do this a year and a half ago, but none of them had shown up because they had already made an appointment. When Charlie and Jordan look each other in the eye, they can hardly believe that they have found each other again.
