An unexpected love triangle, a failed seduction, and a chance encounter with the past. Propelled by coincidence and imagination, and guided by love’s gentle current, acclaimed writer-director Ryūsuke Hamaguchi (Happy Hour, Asako I & II) returns with an enchanting triptych that spins mundane encounters into a world of infinite possibilities. In Episode 1: ‘Magic (or Something Less Assuring),’ a young woman is startled when she realizes that her best friend’s new flame might just be her ex; in Episode 2: ‘Door Wide Open,’ a disgruntled student and his girlfriend plot to entrap a college professor; and in Episode 3: ‘Once Again,’ a college reunion leads to an unanticipated run-in with an old friend, and awakens feelings long since forgotten. Playfully inspired by life’s tiny miracles, and bound together by memory, regret, deception, and fate, this trio of beautifully crafted tales details the sudden reversals, power shifts, and role-playing that define relationships new and old. Beloved by critics and audiences at film festivals around the world, Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy is both ironic and tender, a lively and intricately woven work of imagination that explores the ever-deepening mysteries of the all-too-human heart.
