Another doldrum-dragging film from 1990s Italy. Shades of the giallo genre in the tale of a woman being menaced by a prank caller who may or may not be one of her nearest and dearest. Sadly, the whole thing is incredibly cheap and tedious, with no incident or real plot developing, just two or three characters in repeated conversations until the credits roll. Horrible!

Divorce attorney Sara Lancetti (Nancy Brilli, Hannah from Demons 2) is planning her wedding to Max Altieri (Giulio Scarpati), which comes just in time for someone to start sending her threatening letters and phone calls, sounding like Night Killer, and always with yellow roses. If she goes through with her marriage, the person sending them says that they will kill her.
When talking with whoever this stalker could be, she realizes that he is one of the many men in her past. Seeing as how she doesn't want to tell Max about her life before him, she starts to investigate them to see who wants her dead. As she meets each man - hoping to listen to their voice and compare them to the phone calls - she feels something for one old lover, inflames the passion in a sensitive ex named Daniele (Claudio Bigagli) and even learns a secret that has nothing to do with the potential killer from a third.
Can Sara find the person who is after her before she marries her true love? Is he her true love? Will she have any passion with any of the many exes that she's finding and reconnecting with? I mean, it is an erotic thriller. Or giallo, because they are so close.
Directed by Gianpaolo Tescari and written by Silvia Napolitano, this has an interesting idea, even if the execution isn't as exciting as the films of the 70s.
