A married unhappy man on a business trip, staying in a hotel in a foreign country/city, meets a different girl for whom he falls in love. The tone and message of the two films are nothing alike though.

* MediumAwareness: A strange and disturbing example. After Michael gets out of the shower later in the film, he wipes down the mirror and begins daydreaming his face quickly shifting to different expressions to clicking noises. He then begins to start taking off his lower face, the crease of which is how the stop motion animators switch out the puppet's facial expressions. He quickly stops when someone knocks on his room door.
** This gets played up later in the film during the [[spoiler: nightmare sequence]], where Michael accidentally knocks off the lower half of his face, revealing the snap-on components underneath that the animators would use to change facial expressions. He quickly puts it back on without even mentioning it.

* ThatCameOutWrong: When Lisa's shyness tends to make her invoke this type of response, playfully telling herself to "shut up, Lisa" whenever she feels she said something to embarrass herself in front of Michael. An example is when meeting Michael for the first time, Lisa excuses herself for her line "Is there anything we can do for you?" which she thinks could be taken the wrong way.

The film follows Michael Stone, a best-selling self-help author who's in Cincinnati for a customer service conference. We quickly see that he is a very lonely man. Most importantly, he sees and hears everyone around him as the same generic white man, even his wife and son. Upon arriving in his hotel, he tries to make a connection with an old flame, whom he insults and causes to storm off. With complete tedium, he suddenly hears a unique female voice belonging to a woman named Lisa.
