The film name comes from Bergman's film "Fanny". The conclusion of "With Alexander": "When the night falls, all the evil spirits are all around..." This atmosphere is predicting the film's magnificent, blurred, and provocative taboos.

The film begins with a few suggestive shots, declaring Camille's insecurity about the status quo, such as the two graceful female bodies immersed in the ocean in a dream, and the fiancé expounding his loyalty to "absolute" and "inevitability" in class. She then took shots with the theme of "how people are uneasy with the status quo"; then, she began a series of journeys to explore her deepest desires: first, the blow of the death of her pet dog, the spark of her first encounter with Patra in the laundry, and Patra's intrusion After a subtle change in her life, to questioning her relationship with Martin, Camille gradually became more and more aware of what she wanted.
