Synopsis
A man who is celebrating his 40th birthday summoned his 4 lovers simultaneously ... what was his intention? how would the 4 women react? and how would the film end? 

My thoughts ...

-- Unlike many films, the opening scene and ending scene are "well coordinated" ... ... but what really imprints are (i) the art direction/well choreographed scenes and (ii) the "philosophy" of love and life (regardless of your personal opinion) ... in a way, each of the affair is also symbolic of something ... 
e.g., "heavenly" "first" love vs "earthly love"
e.g., and when the last woman also summoned 4 men, we see the contrast in societal reaction ...
etc

-- the tradeoff, however, is that some scenes/dialogues may seem too contrived/pretentious (for depicting real life scenarios) and too "choreographed" ... but hey, I guess if you want to "like" this film, you have to appreciate that the style and message(s) are supposed to supercede the quest for authentic portrayal ...

Conclusion ...
Recommended for two groups of people
(i) if you are going for the art direction/choreography ... or music, you will like the film; 
(ii) if you like to be philosophical about love and life, this is the film for you ... of course you may choose to agree or disagree with the director's viewpoint ...
