Bad girl?

If you're honest enough, you should admit that there is a longing for freedom in our hearts.
We hate the rules of society, whether from family, from social, from career, they all torture our spirit.
We long for physical liberation, and the best reflection of that liberation is sex.
For Monica, she has undoubtedly revealed her inner yearning for physical and spiritual freedom, which is the so-called "do whatever you want", which has led to social rejection.
For Monica's husband, it is in his nature when he gives up his job for freedom and gains passion in sex with Monica.
At the end of the film, Monica escapes the family that binds her hands and feet and returns to a free life.
Monica's husband is in front of the mirror, holding the child, thinking of his wife's beautiful body in his mind, but he feels ashamed for such a thought.
We live in society, inseparable from it, and our body and spirit's desire for freedom is incompatible with society. The original animal nature has never disappeared, it is only because of the formation of society that we must suppress our inner desires. Without income, we'll starve, use violence, we'll be criminals...A lot of what we do, we don't want to, but we have to do it, we have to pretend, otherwise, we will become bad.
Monica is not bad, but she lives too real.
