This film has a very romantic premise. Two strangers, draftsman Nick and restaurant owner Natalie, begin seeing each other in their dreams. They walk, talk and get to know one another all the while dreaming night after night.
Then Nick's ex comes back in to his life and interrupts him after midnight, disrupting their nightly dream visit. As a consequence, Natalie wonders alone in the dream.
In their real lives both Natalie and Nick are trying to make some changes professionally. Nick enters a contest for the city to design a bridge and Natalie starts making positive improvements to the restaurant she inherited (loosing the opera, changing the name, tweaking the recipes, etc.).
When her dream lover doesn't show up overnight, Natalie asks the new Italian chef out on a date. Nick is not really going back to his ex, Jessa and decides to make it an early night...but now he is alone in the dream while Natalie is out with the Italian discovering that limoncello tastes better in a dessert than as a drink. The Italian, Mario, tells her that their mothers (who were beat friends) thought that their children were meant to be together.
Back to dreamland...both participants felt like the other made them feel like anything is possible. And maybe that was the purpose of the dreams...or was it?
"And if in the end you really love him, the spirit of the stones will make him real." "That's pure fantasy."-Natalie
Sweet and romantic, this seemed to build on a very romantic notion...a fantasy that everyone would want to get behind...enchanted stones from a castle.
