Besides the beautiful background music and smooth presentation, Ryusuke Hamaguchi's three short stories are able to capture the spirit of postmodern perpectives of love. In the first story, he asks viewers to ponder whether the magic feelings are jealosy in disguse, or truly an Eureka moment when two minds completely united to form this enchanted moment. The second story - Door Wide Open - was erotism of the third kind - not physical, not mental but almost spiritual. The third story, to me, gives us both the playful imagination as well as an accidental encounter between two women who had graduated from high school twenty years ago. By role playing, they helped each other to heal the missing holes in their hearts.
