The picture is considered to be a modern updating and reworking of Arthur Schnitzler's classic romantic French play "La Ronde". For three film versions, see La ronde (1950), Reigen (1973), and La ronde (1964).
The format of the movie is the same where, in a sexual encounter between two people, one moves onto a sexual encounter with another person, who has sexual encounter with another person, and so on until the last person has a sexual encounter with the first person.
