Plot

"Encore" is a captivating cinematic tapestry, weaving together three vibrant short stories penned by the prolific W. Somerset Maugham. In "The Ant and the Grasshopper", we are drawn into the whirlwind life of Tom Ramsey, a carefree rogue who continuously exasperates his straight-laced businessman brother, George. Tom's wild antics not only push George to the brink of sanity but paradoxically pave the way for him to win the heart of the world's third-richest girl, Margaret Vyne. Next, we set sail with "Winter Cruise", where the tranquility of a cargo ship's crew is shattered by the ceaseless chatter of a spinster passenger, Miss Reid. Driven to the edge, the ship's officers conspire to quiet her by persuading a French steward, Pierre, to play the suitor. The results are a whirlwind of unexpected revelations for the officers, Pierre, and certainly, Miss Reid. Lastly, "The Gigolo and the Gigolette" plunges into the thrilling life of Stella Cotman, a breathtaking daredevil who captivates resort hotel guests with her nightly high-dive into a flaming tank. However, beneath the glitz and glamour, Stella grapples with a growing fear that threatens to extinguish her fiery performances. "Encore" invites viewers on a journey of humor, heart, and unexpected twists, promising an unforgettable cinematic experience.
