Olivia is an artist, but recurring dreams pull her toward the daughter she was forced to give up as a young girl, bringing urgency to her work. Natalia has just commanded her first magazine cover as a photojournalist, but an aching to know what happened to the subject of her cover leads her on a new direction in life. Catherine, despite being an accomplished cellist, is consumed with lingering emotional pain. She is wavering unsteadily as she disappears from her family, exacting revenge on the source of her anxiety. As the three women each are visited by the same vision of a young girl, they become inspired to pursue their dreams with a renewed spirit of hope and freedom. (official distributor synopsis)

After a great internal struggle, I am giving this film three stars, but they are not convincing and I still have doubts about them. They are more for the concept and cast than for the screenplay and execution. This film delves so deeply into the inner turmoil of its protagonists' souls that it almost drowns in psychology. Then there's the sentimental music, tormented faces, and the obsequious melancholy from the camera. In short, I have a feeling that Ponti wanted to make a strong impression on his audience and sell them a melodramatic story that somewhat flirts with emotional manipulation. Overall impression: 50%.
