An alcoholic and rude father, a toiled and rude mother, and hordes of younger siblings who make noise all day long. Such a family makes the girl Monika have the idea of ​​fleeing very early. She met Harry, who she thought could be entrusted to her life, and the two eloped in a boat, spending the summer days and nights on the deserted island shore in a humble cabin and sleeping bag. When the summer is over, Monika is pregnant, and after being caught stealing meat, they are fortunate enough to escape quickly, and they have no other way but to return to the real world. On the rickety waterway, monika exclaimed, "Why are some people always lucky and some never?"

This seems to be the question everyone has or has ever had, "Why?" The arrangement of fate is unbalanced, but in the end most people just go down the river and hold it unwillingly. Monika is not one of the majority. She is not willing to be an ordinary housewife who is a husband and a child. She wants Harry's strong love, a good-looking new coat, and a movie to go shopping. However, Harry was engrossed in his studies and work and had no time to take care of Monika's mother and daughter. In the end, the neglected Monika enjoyed the thrill of cheating with different men, until she was caught by Harry. She put on a beautiful coat and left chicly alone.

If such a monika appeared in reality, it would definitely be a negative teaching material that was criticized by Aunt Bo. However, under the director's lens, Monika is no longer a deviant and deviant girl, but a real and brave woman full of youthful vigor. In the afterglow of the setting sun, she was running on the reef, naked, looking back suddenly, looking at the boy she loved, smiling sweetly. At the end of the film, Harry saw this scene in the mirror, holding monika and his daughter, as if from a lifetime.

Maybe there should be a period of monika in life, not afraid of gossip, desperate, persistent pursuit of desire. Even if it is only a very short summer, it is so extremely crazy and romantic.
