Thomas is a master hunter and has been around for a long time among all kinds of women until he meets Teresa, the heroine who can hug and fall asleep, but people who are used to thinking about the lower body are obviously not willing to give up the entire forest for a tree and insist on love. And sex can be completely separated, but Teresa is different, sex must not be separated from love, unique possession is true love, "Life is so heavy for me, but for you it is so heavy. It's so easy, my life can't bear this kind of lightness, this kind of freedom", so two people who have different views on love can only understand the true meaning of love in the process of continuous separation and union. Love is mutual trust and possession, but it is beautiful. How long can their love last? After all, real life is cruel, so the ending of the film allows the two to maintain the beauty of their love at the moment in a car accident. The god of acting, Daniel Day-Lewis, has cunning, slutty, and melancholy in his blue eyes, making a 100% pure playboy come alive. The young Juliet Binoche interprets the heroine who is pure, enthusiastic, and desperate for her love. The second heroine Sabina, played by Swedish actress Lena Olin, is free and brave. She can always be herself while chasing her dreams. She also keeps her best charm in the film.
