UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
63/365 第一部洪常秀 生活流电影 结构大于影像 很有灵气
7/10
我好像直接在看他们生活 金敏喜捧花时那时我很感动 但随即影片结束后我们的反应 就像金敏喜看完电影的反应 好像导演在耍我们 太有趣了哈哈哈这样的观影体验
什么结构，什么套层，什么梦中梦，什么虚构中的真实，都是狗屁，重新定义电影类型之——狗粮噎你一嘴电影。在你面前的短片为啥没拍成呢？那他妈是因为没有金敏喜啊！
在酒桌上睡去，在电影院里醒来。片尾字幕已经浮现，金敏喜还在梦中。元电影。
有点随心所欲因而不同寻常，镜头极简，叙事也极简到只有一个明显冲突，只有角色数量相比之下没那么极简。很多巧妙的细节，很多潜台词，都值得玩味。能让洪拍得这么自在随性和甜甜地秀恩爱，金敏喜真是个不同寻常的女人！
过曝小王子。金敏喜每一次的出现都扭转了电影的色彩，不仅仅是黑白与彩色，更是让这部电影明亮起来。有一个喜欢的想拍的演员，再去创造故事，不愧是你洪常秀。“你很漂亮”，好的，这一次对金敏喜表白了。
最近洪尚秀改做手工电影了，编导摄剪制全都自己来，明显水平下降很多，这是必然的，技术问题固然多，但其实对他来说也没大所谓，最大问题一是演员选择不到位，二是结构设计平庸俗套，三是长期以来的被宠坏的表白欲终于已经到了恶心的程度，最可气的是还有揣着明白装糊涂的电影节和揣着糊涂装明白的吃瓜群众继续纵容他们俩生产低质电影
有点希望我不是以这种方式看到这部电影：Walter Reade的狭小空间、稀薄空气和难受座椅，filmlinc策展人自作风趣但毫无必要的冗长开场，邻座隔三差五举起手机开始屏摄，还有最让我不适的间歇性满堂彩。老实说，我就想安安静静地吃糖
戏中戏里，他们是夫妻的关系。
我真想请教一下各位大神，读解一下洪常秀的电影语言，牛逼在哪里，每一次的推拉有什么寓意。我看的是电影还是小说，是视听还是文字
洪尚秀真是撒了一手的好粮啊呜呜呜 电影概念也好棒
老三样：偶遇，尬聊，喝酒。另外，这部片子是不是用手机拍的啊？
虽然真的是公然秀恩爱，但这猝不及防的延伸真的是美事一件啊。想说的不多，只有这一点点的意外美好，都是生活中为数不多的甜。
看了两部洪尚秀的电影之后本来心灰意冷，以为可能他就不是我喜欢的类型，这部完全改变了这个想法。故事并不是重点，有一个想拍的演员，捕捉到她和有连结的其他角色之间的自然互动和气场，一部电影就成型了。最后十分钟是绝对惊喜，谁能不爱这样天真烂漫又随性的金敏喜呢？
我是冲着金敏喜才看的这部电影的，
即便叙事性再一次地被削弱，他仍能使每一情境保持着敞开，体验各个角色身处的当下并对此有所感悟，同时可以经由我们自身对谈论内容的理解联结起戏外的现实使其进一步的升华。一切都变得更加自由和轻松，会心一笑的时刻变得更多，更何况还有惊喜的秀恩爱环节。
变焦、推拉、黑白、除了角色空无一人的镜头……
能说会道自尊心还挺重的小说家给金敏喜夫妇策划的狗粮vlog 演员和摄影全由夫妇俩自带
有时我会觉得，洪常秀已经抛弃了语言（这种喋喋不休的韩国格律），语言只是动作的尴尬之际下意识流出的东西，并不重要，和他的镜头一样，完全平铺，观众自行攫取。重要的只是关系、关系里的尴尬、和尴尬过后松绑之一瞬的真实。但这部的真实直接僭越了，已经从前作难以预测的偶然行为变成整个叙事的扳机，结构也连带着消融了，演员也由此松脱了，连那种执拗的自反都变得温暖了，这是一部真正粘连着洪片余温的“新作”。（还有，过曝就一定是技术错误吗。
