Le leggi del desiderio

Giovanni Canton is a well known life coach who markets himself as a maker of wishes. He swears that no desire is out of reach and life can be rearranged with the right guidance. When a televised contest is announced, three people who feel stuck in their routines are invited to compete for six months of personal coaching. The winner will be followed by Giovanni and his team, offering encouragement, blunt advice, and a path to turning dreams into reality. The setup leans into comedic situations as fantasies collide with real relationships, money, and the messy reality of change, all without revealing what lies ahead. Secrets simmer beneath the surface as each contender reveals their true motives and insecurities.

Directed by Silvio Muccino from an original screenplay by Carla Vangelista and Silvio Muccino, Le leggi del desiderio arrived in 2015 as a character driven romantic comedy about wish fulfillment.

While not a global phenomenon, the film taps into a familiar modern impulse the lure of instant transformation and the ethical lines around coaching power. Its humor and romance offer light satirical angles on fame and personal reinvention without resorting to cynicism.

Reception appears modest with a 5.3 out of 10 from 34 votes suggesting a mixed response. The film foregrounds themes of desire and control, exploring how promising possibilities collide with real relationships and consequences when wish making becomes a business.
