The war is raging outside, but it's quiet and peaceful here. Just because the intervention of a wounded man caused layers of ripples, it was natural for a woman to be moved by it. The corporal had already lost his sense of being among the seven women, so that after his legs were sawed, he became wildly beastly and turned his back on customers. Poisoning is also an inevitable result. The whole film is beautiful in light and shadow, and the environment is quiet, like a paradise. A wounded deserter completely broke these, and the consequences can be imagined.
