We have been curious to see the movie “ Desire for Love“ about Chopin and finally we watched it last weekend. This story is about the relationship between Frederic Chopin and George Sand and her children. The title “ Desire for love “ exactly fits with the story.

This movie makes our mind clear up.    I think it’s an uplifting movie ! I guess I’m a very dreamer and I’m always attracted by beautiful nature scenery and historical buildings.    Because mayb

3. Mystic Seer ( Nick of time ) This story is about a newly young marriage couple who go into a café restaurant and there was a little toy machine called “mystic seer” at their table, with instructions on it that say that , for a penny, it will tell the future. Like a fortune cookie. The husband is curious so he tries it and puts a penny into the toy, asking a question about whether he had gotten the promotion today that he had been trying for. And the answer was “ it has been decided in your favor “. He then calls his company in the café pay phone and asks about it, and finds out that it’s true he really got the promotion.   At this point, the husband starts asking many more questions. And everything the mystic seer answers to him turns out to be true. So he becomes even more crazy, like obsessed, to ask many questions, such as where to live, west or east or north or south. The wife gets fed up with his actions and tells him they should not be a slave of this m
