Storyline

One at a time, each by herself, ten women speak directly into the camera and talk about themselves. Talking about a relationship with a man - sometimes a long-term one and more often a brief one - triggers remembrances of a parent lost, of a pet, of childhood. The first woman talks about running into a true love several years later, the second describes her loss of virginity, the third recounts a discomforting blind date; only one woman has experienced a long-term marriage. Dreams figure into several stories. Some ask "Is there only one great love?" "Where am I when I'm in a relationship - even one that ends in a night?," is a question others raise.

User Reviews

Interesting concept but the resulting film is just strange

In 10 stories written by the male director of the film, ten different women each tell the viewer about a former relationship. One of the women tells about her first sexual encounter, another tells about a blind date who was incredibly selfish and unfeeling, and still another about a man she met in Greece. Did any of these women really benefit from these encounters and can they offer the audience real advice about love? This movie is just bizarre. Each of the stories has some intriguing elements but none truly ring true, except, perhaps, for the last story. How many women, after all, fall for a puppeteer or get set up on a date with a man from Argentina? All of the actresses in the movie, however, do their best with the material provided. The best accolade one can give to this film is that its format is interesting and that's not showering it with praise. If you have a penchant for unusual and unknown films, you might take a chance with this movie. Otherwise, even those who love tales of romance will be sorely disappointed.
