The first half gave me a feeling of being superfluous, they just exist, you don't know what their essence is, where they come from, you can only feel that they are all covering up their inner feelings in a seemingly natural interaction. Uneasy and distressed, despite being physically together with others, they all maintain superficial social interactions and refuse true spiritual communication. Before Anna disappeared, she said to the male protagonist, "I want to communicate"; but the male protagonist replied, "We are getting married, and we can communicate for a lifetime." Then Anna disappeared, and all the creatures were revealed one by one. The so-called friends are nothing more than delicate egoists who don't care about the lives of others. Claudia and Sandro's ill-timed relationship develops, and it turns out that true love is not taboo-breaking at all but the result of a man's erotic drive. In the name of listening to my heart, I keep looking for fresher stimulation, but in the end I find that I have no heart at all, only desire. The other is no longer an end in itself, but a means to the realization of desire. Why did Sandro cry at the end? Because he is a non-believer, he needs a believer like Claudia, but he has let her down, and he dare not ask for her love and faith. The entire film space language is also very rich, whether it is an island or a city, it reveals the loneliness of people who are lost in the sky and the earth and the ubiquitous sense of alienation between people.
