| Summary |
"Adapted from three short stories by the father of short-story writing, Guy de Maupassant, each segment revels in joie de vivre: an old man regains his youth with the aid of a magic mask ; on a bucolic outing with her colleagues, a prostitute experiences romance ; while the third story focuses on the love between an artist and his model."--Container |
