we all have wants - this is 3

everybody seeks something they will never get. if you do get what you want there just may be a price to pay.

a husband wants out of a marriage but lacks the will to escape. a child wants a beautiful bracelet - gets it - looses it - it's not hers to have now she must find it. a woman wants to be a chummy friend with a well know actress - the actress will have none it.

here we have three wonderfully told stories of three people who just might be neighbors. their backyard is their personal life. each one seeks something to possibly make them happy. along the way they discover otherwise. the road to happiness is full of pits, falls, and other desires (think what dorothy said in the 'wizard of oz' - "if you can't find happiness in your own backyard you'll never find it".

the backyards is within these characters and their personal lives - we each have one. this movie is just a look at three.

a wonderful bit of cinema! how anyone cannot be touched by these 3 brief stories is beyond me. and each one has closure - it's a complete movie start to finish! bravo!
