## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A trio of tales sharing a theme one might call joie de vivre or simply getting away with things. It follows a masked man chasing fleeting glamour, a brothel’s madam shepherding her girls through an awkward country communion, and a painter’s doomed infatuation with his muse. Perfectly charming, if a little too pleased with itself.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, bittersweet, playful, tender
