action

The comic artist Dino Romani meets the young, beautiful Nicole on the beach in Trieste , who has just been saved from drowning by two men. Nicole visits Dino that same day at his house, where they have sex immediately.

Dino is fascinated by Nicole's beauty and they both start an affair. But Dino soon notices that something is wrong with his girlfriend. She loves provocation, is prone to hysteria and jealousy. Dino spies on her and finds out that Nicole has severe mental disorders and lives in an open mental hospital.

On the one hand he is obsessed with the beautiful woman, feels repulsed and exasperated, but also wants to help her. An amour fou develops between the two and Nicole's mental problems intensify. She becomes more and more insane and starts self-destructive actions. The film ends with bald Nicole - she had her hair cut to test whether Dino still desires her - goes into the sea. Whether or not she will commit suicide remains an open question.

criticism

" The melodrama, which timidly peeled off from the initially criminalistic premise, has little endurance as a Mediterranean variation on Hitchcock's Vertigo "

- Criticism on cinema time

It's a shame that this film doesn't have the cult status today because it would deserve it. "
