Antonio 's flight to Brussels has been forced to land in Munich due to the eruption of an Icelandic volcano , in which Antonio sees the " curse " of his wife confirmed . In a crowded restaurant he encounters Olga , who is from the Baltics . The waiter , apparently from Campania like Antonio , had decided to serve Antonio first , even though Olga had ordered the same schnitzel almost an hour earlier . Antonio , put off by this favoritism , offers it to Olga , and they eventually agree to share Olga 's schnitzel and Antonio 's bottle of wine . The wine and their shared passion for Italian opera break the ice between them and when , after a long and pleasant evening , Antonio locks himself out of his hotel room , they spend the night together . In the morning , however , she reveals to him that she is married
