Three Coins in the Fountain

In the heart of Rome, where cobblestones echo with centuries of whispers, the city’s most famous attraction— the Trevi Fountain—offers a glittering promise to anyone who dares to toss a coin and make a wish. The legend that a single coin can turn a fleeting hope into lasting destiny hangs in the warm, citrus‑scented air, inviting travelers to imagine their futures against the backdrop of Baroque splendor.

At a charming shared apartment, three American women have made the Eternal City their temporary home. Maria arrives fresh from the United States, eager to carve her place in a bustling distribution agency while navigating the romance‑laden streets. Anita, a confident and stylish coworker, balances her professional ambitions with a lingering curiosity about love beyond the confines of office rules. Frances, the seasoned secretary to a celebrated novelist, carries the quiet yearning of someone who has watched countless love stories unfold from the sidelines and now hopes to write her own.

Each woman’s coin‑in‑the‑fountain wish reflects a different path to the heart. Maria finds herself drawn to Prince Dino di Cessi, a charismatic figure whose reputation as a lover of art and adventure hints at both excitement and mystery. Anita senses a subtle chemistry with Georgio, a gentle translator whose quiet determination suggests a love that could bridge cultures and expectations. Meanwhile, Frances watches the charismatic author John Frederick Shadwell from a close distance, feeling the tension between professional admiration and personal longing.

The film’s tone is light‑hearted and wistful, bathing the viewer in the golden glow of Roman sunsets, bustling cafés, and the perpetual hum of hopeful romance. As the three women navigate their individual quests for affection, the city itself becomes a living character, offering both challenge and charm. Their intertwined stories promise a delightful exploration of desire, destiny, and the timeless magic that can be found when a coin meets water beneath the ancient arches.
