A mexican chef meets her love interest in an american man.

A delightful farce about a young European man's first encounter with his Mexican boyfriend's mother, whose affectionate hold over her son is at once warm, puzzling and problematic. Set in an elegant Mexican hacienda on the occasion of a wedding, the comedy hinges on personal misunderstandings as well as droll cultural differences.

The episodic film tells the stories and experiences of different people in the city of Zurich on a Friday night. People who don't know each other meet at six different locations. Two young unemployed men want to rob a bar, Swiss and Germans play cards at a regulars' table, a Zurich scene-goer tries to overcome his inability to form relationships with the help of a psychologist, and a banker cheats on his wife. Characters who are initially characterized as clichés gradually gain depth and become human. "Nachtexpress" shows encounters that could happen every night in Swiss cities. People get together to drink, talk, argue, and love. "Nachtexpress" is a socially critical comedy—a folk play that deals with current issues such as latent racism, love, and inconsistency.
