Four short tales are linked by a story filmed by Wim Wenders. Taking place in Ferrara, Portofino, Aix en Provence, and Paris, each story, always with a woman as its crux, invites the viewer to an inner travel, as Antonioni says "towards the true image of that absolute and mysterious reality that nobody will ever see".
