The composition and color matching are very literary and artistic. The background of the story takes place in a mining factory area. There are huge machines everywhere, high chimneys with poisonous smoke, and a huge amount of white steam spit out from the pipes. The whole mining area is left behind after mining. The ravines, the constantly steaming surface, the polluted rivers, the sea water, are like a purgatory on earth. The story tells the maddening spirit of the heroine. Her husband is the manager of the mining area. He is usually busy with work and neglects his wife. The heroine, who was hospitalized due to a concussion in a car accident, fell into a bewildered and nonexistent spiritual black hole. She craved attention, craved love, and was tired of her original life world. She wanted to escape but could not find a way out. She thought that the mining area The boss, a man who actively pays attention to her and wants to understand her and care about her, a rich boy who is unwilling to settle down and likes to travel all over the world, can understand and help himself, and looks forward to escaping with him and going anywhere in the world. Little did she know that the man who had tried to understand and help her, was also tired of her extremely unstable mental state and restless emotional struggle, and left her, leaving her still struggling alone.

[Beijing Film Festival Screening] Antonioni's first color film. On the impact of industrial pollution on the human heart. I don't like this one very much.

So noisy and bored, I wish I could slap the heroine a few times. You can only surrender and give up, and go to sleep. one and a half stars

Giuliana: [voiceover: Giuliana is recounting a fable to her son, as a depiction of the fable is shown on screen] There was a girl who lived on an island. Grownups bored her, and frightened her too. She didn't like kids her age. They all pretended to be grownup. So she was always alone, with the cormorants, seagulls, and wild rabbits.
Giuliana: [voiceover continues] She'd discovered a small beach far from town, with crystal-clear water and pink sand. She loved that spot. The colors of nature were so beautiful, and there was no noise. She'd leave only when the sun did too.
Giuliana: [voiceover continues] One morning, a sailing ship appeared. It wasn't like the usual boats that passed by. This was a real sailing ship, the kind that had braved stormy seas all over the world - and who knows, maybe even beyond. Seen from afar, it was a splendid sight. But up close, it took on a mysterious air. There was no one aboard. It paused for a few moments, then turned, and sailed off, as silently as it had come. She was used to people's strange ways, so she wasn't surprised.
Giuliana: [voiceover continues] But no sooner was she back on shore, when...
