After deciding to stay together Alice and Bill try to start their life as a couple again but Bill's memories of that strangely magical night with the masked sect and Alice's recurring dreams with other men seem to haunt them even beyond their good intent. Discussing this stressful situation aver a glass of jack with his friend Vietar, Bill confesses his discomfort but Vietar comes to his rescue: recently he inherited part of the land of the "Orto collettivo dell'albergo dei poveri" but doesn't quite know what to do with it, so he proposes to Bill to take Alice there and have a holiday( and see if they would like to use it for building club) and explore their possibilities. Bill, an avid fan of jazz music, has talked about how, if he would have a change of career, he would like to open a space dedicateci to music. The most beautiful and liberating memories he has with Alice are always centered around music. What if what they need is a project together? A space, a club that would function during the night, to fit their otherwise busy schedule, a breath of fresh air. Recently Alice, to distract herself from I ife as a mother and housewife, picked up on gardening, especially rare, exotic flowers that require special climate and care, the night blooming jasmine was her favorite. Once you arrive in Genoa, the warm, Mediterranean climate of the city and the fertile, sunny parcel left by Vietar seems perfect for letting this activity grow. The couple is greatly inspired by the romance of the city but not only that, in the dark alleys of the city, life takes on a different aspect at night: if during the day they feel welcomed by the city's elegant manners at night they feel free to let themselves go, there are no more inhibitions, their fantasies are unleashed. And so the Night Blooming Jasmine Club was born: a public gathering piace in the gardens of "albergo dei poveri" where oncomers can enjoy jazz music during the late hours of the night. In a neighborhood that flourishes during the day, on the site of the beautiful communal gardens, the jazz club is a safe haven for anyone looking for an escape. The experience of the scent of the exotic flowers and the refined jazz music is intensified by the mysterious, dim-light ambiance and intriguing cocktail melanges, to be enjoyed from sunset till dawn. The mystery and secrecy allow guests the anonymity, that was so desirable in the masked sect Bill carne across, but by portraying it in a less direct, more approachable manner. To be hidden in plain sight is what the guests are looking for. The more you explore the maze and come across lesser lit rooms, the less inhibitions there are. A space that accepts your desire, without questioning it, where pleasure is to be enjoyed through all the senses. The only remains of the club into the day are the beautiful exotic flowers and the open terraces of the club, that can be enjoyed and admired throughout the day, with no trace of the pleasures hidden in the night.
