This anthology tells three separate stories about love, desire, and longing: a charged encounter between a couple and a young woman on the Tuscan coast, a stressed advertising executive unpacking a recurring erotic dream in therapy, and an unrequited romance involving a glamorous call girl and a young tailor.

About
You may enjoy this if you like anthology films that explore intimacy, longing, and erotic dreams in very different styles, especially if titles like Lolita or Stealing Beauty appeal to you; Not for you if you want a single, fast-paced story.
Pros: varied takes on desire; strong first segment; memorable mood | Cons: uneven overall balance; confusing final chapter; pacing can drag
