It is a film proposing a dialogue with the viewer. A magician , present in a exclusiviste club, telling the story of his first steps in magic area, remembering his mentor figure and the day of his death.

Sure, you can be not comfortable. For a story are present the men in room of show ? Not for trick ? Is it real acceptable a so long introduction ? Is it real realistic ?

Maybe not. But it has no relevence the answer.

A letter of a young woman to her father. And the meeting, in a caffe , with the magician. Another roots of story. And powerful level of high emotion.

The last scenes reminds the reality of mentor.

But, more important, the film reminds to viewer the gallery of relatives, teachers, mates, mentors, models helping/ teaching him.

That makes Dream of Aces more than special.
