Answer: September 3rd 1973, at 6:28pm and 32 seconds

At this exact moment, "a bluebottle fly capable of 14,670 wing beats a minute landed on Rue St Vincent, Montmartre. At the same moment, on a restaurant terrace nearby, the wind magically made two glasses dance unseen on a tablecloth..." This is the narration during the opening scene of the film, and is a great start. The narration helps the viewer realize just how fleeting a moment can be, not to mention how many wonderful things can happen in this world, without anyone even noticing. The line helps illustrate how the smallest little details of life can have an enormously profound effect on the lives of others.
