Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy is a refined Japanese anthology from Ryusuke Hamaguchi that stitches three intimate vignettes into one work. Each story hinges on a chance encounter, a decision, and the fragile generosity of human connection. Dialogue crackles with wit and precision as characters wrestle with desire, memory, and miscommunication, sometimes defying expectations, sometimes exposing vulnerability. The film blends quiet realism with speculative twists, revealing how probability shapes love and fate.
