Film Synopsis

Attilo is a poet and, like all great poets, he is a dreamer.  Every night, he has the same dream, in which he encounters his ideal woman.  How delighted he is to find the woman of his dreams, in flesh and blood, in the course of a discussion with an Iraqi friend.  Attilo doesn't waste a second in trying to seduce her, but Vittoria proves unsusceptible to his charms and before he knows it she is gone.  The poet decides he must find her, at any cost...
