The film describes in great detail the story of a bourgeois woman who was deceived by her husband, lost her mind, fell into bizarre hallucinations, and finally woke up. The content of the film is full of mysterious phenomena such as psychics and ghosts, and there are also a lot of illusions, dreams, memories and other techniques that Fellini is good at, so it has a style of mysticism and surrealism. The film's description of the self-suppression and anxiety of middle-aged women in the upper class is like the exploration of the filmmaker's heart in "Eight and a Half". The film is also Fellini's first color film.
