I just didn't see any kind of plot anywhere. Yay, everyone's life works out perfect in the end, but where is the drama, thrill, or even wonder about this movie? I was thoroughly disappointed. Just another movie about someone's boring fantasy life they had, and it wasn't an interesting life at that. Don't waste your money.

A lovely film! Snippets of lives intersecting with a common thread in days gone by. Though the story lacks a strong theme, it does talk to modern times with prejudices based on lack of knowledge of other cultures and emigration. The general idea of embracing change through communication and telling personal stories show they are more alike than they are different from one another. A fun little watch.

The romance between the thirty something shop girl and the Australian immigrant is lovely. The growth and wonder of the main character is a little simplistic but sweet. Julie Ormond is wonderful as an immigrant coming to terms with her new life in Australia and her support of the new "shop girl". It was a nice, sweet, hour and forty-five minutes; I smiled throughout, and felt uplifted after. Like a bowl of sherbert on a hot summer day. Need a good afternoon movie - Ladies in Black is the answer.
