A young man falls in love with a dying girl, but their dreams are interrupted by a demon who wants him gone. One hundred years later, the same young man struggles trying to explain memories of another life.
A fantasy film that presents a beautiful dream, namely a magical story built on the idea that everything happens with a purpose and no evil is committed without it actually being necessary to allow the good to triumph in other surroundings. The film's context is built to satisfy this idea, using fairy tale elements where the logic of reality is not satisfactory. The film is somewhat simple, which is possibly the opposite of what the writer of the novel on which it is based actually intended, a novel that Martin Scorsese himself is said to have declared impossible to adapt.
