Actually, the film is sent in Memphis. Story one has a group of Japanese teenagers on a pilgrimage to see Elvis and blues relics. Story two has an Italian woman whose husband had just died on their honeymoon. She shares a hotel with a woman who just split up with her boyfriend and is leaving town. Story three has the English boyfriend, depressed at losing work and his girlfriend, carousing around with the ex-girlfriend's brother and a friend. ( jeepers, I made it sound like a soap opera ). Each story is occurs in the same hotel, (run by Screaming Jay Hawkins wearing a screaming red suite with a screaming red tie) and early in the 2nd film you realise the stories are happening simultaneous. This formal element adds suspense in the 3rd story. Jeff Beer
