A Passionate Kiss is the story of a woman confronted with the bizarre world of a magical city somewhere in Europe. It begins with a dream — a nightmare — and continues through a series of encounters. This is not a feminist story, yet femininity plays a decisive role in it: the moral and ethical shifts in the mind of a modern woman who decides to walk away from an empty (if financially secure) relationship.
