Varda said she wanted to represent women who were homeless on the road, so she had Mona. Mona is free, rebellious, and defiant, but also isolated, filthy, and ends up in the gutter at the end of her life. Mona came naked from the blue sea, and we saw how a woman who walked out of nature went back into nature and made her home in the world. We don't know who she is, and as the camera follows us to witness Mona's wanderings, the image of a fringe rebel gradually plumps up in front of us. The departed Mona represents absolute rebellion and freedom, and the purity of the character based on the mysterious appearance and wandering road from the sea at the beginning makes her a symbol. At the same time, Mona's experiences and encounters on the wandering road, her rebellious rationality gradually degenerated into the ecstasy and chaos of survival for survival, all these changes also show us the life of a real and living street girl. "The End of the World" presents the disillusionment of a symbol of idealism and pure freedom, and also records the women who wander on the road.
