Clearly not for everyone as the comments here prove. It you're prepared to suspend your disbelief, meet it half way, and accept it on its own terms, you will be enchanted, which is surely reward enough. We're talking labor of love here as the husband-and wife actor-director team set out to charm us with a willow-the-wisp soufflé' which has overtones of The Mad Woman of Chaillot, and whose 'message' is little more than 'love is where you find it'. A woman, with no baggage, arrives at a small hotel and explains to the new night-clerk that she is a fairy who has the power to grant him three wishes; rather than wealth beyond the dreams of avarice, he asks for a scooter and an unlimited supply of petrol, leaving the third wish on hold. Naturally the woman normally sleeps in a nearby mental hospital, to which she is soon returned, but by now the clerk is smitten and we are drawn in to this unconventional love story - or not, as the case may be. If you still have a child within you and take it along neither of you will be disappointed. If you have lost and/or abandoned the child within you, then don't go.
