I'm not exactly sure if Jesse and Celine will meet again in six months. I obviously know they'll meet again, considering there's a sequel. But if there wasn't, I don't think they would meet up again. This could just be because I'm pretty cynical when it comes to people promising they're going to do something, like meet up later. And six months is a pretty long time to go without communication, as they've agreed to.
If they don't meet again, which I'm not banking on (at least not when they had initially agreed on) their time together wasn't wasted. There doesn't necessarily have to be a "point" to being with someone, even if it's a short amount of time. At the end of their 24 hours, it's not like they're strangers, like they had started off as. Considering they've burned through many different topics--relatively quickly considering how long they had for everything discussed--I wouldn't consider them to be foreign to each other. Even though sex was involved, as some would say that was too soon, they seemed to know more about each other in the span of a day than some couples do after months.
So, it doesn't really seem like there was a "point" to their time together except for the fact that they both met and enjoyed the company of what had started off as a perfect stranger. They both took a break from their lives and whatever problems they were facing to do something out-of-the-ordinary. Maybe nothing was gained except for just the knowledge that they could do it in the first place. After all, it must've taken a lot of courage to run around Vienna with a complete and total stranger.
