A spurned dream

Bai Fumei had a fantastic dream. At the end of the dream, the audience thought that her husband was really paralyzed, but saw her husband take off his glasses, and a carriage that appeared at the beginning of the movie came across the road, and the movie ended.

Bai Fumei has a very happy life, but she aspires to be a prostitute who is despised by thousands of people. Her dreams are all scenes where her husband and other men keep whipping her and scolding herself as a bitch. She took the initiative to go to the brothel hidden in the building and befriend the man.

Until the end, he fell in love with a swinger, violent and affectionate, with rotten teeth, but his eyes were firm.

There is an adventure near the end of the movie. A nobleman in an old castle is probably missing his deceased wife. He often makes young women put on a holy black veil and sugar is in the coffin, which is very strange.

I like the costumes in the movie very much, especially the clothes of the prostitutes in the brothel are very elegant. Although they are not as expensive as those of the beauty in the day, they can see that they have excellent taste. She really is a woman in Paris.
