She’s running away from a violent lover to go to work in Acapulco. He’s running after a woman with whom he believes himself to be in love. He travels in first class on a plane that is going from New York to Munich. She leaves for Mexico in economy class. He’s depressed, but refuses to admit it. She looks failure in the face.
She is gaudy, talkative and outgoing. He is an introvert, taciturn, completely closed off. Neither Felix or Rose are really ready to meet.
