action
After the suicide of his wife Liza, the apparently good-humored Wilson Joel surprises his colleagues with the decision to return to the hotel where he and Liza once spent their honeymoon. The question of the cause of her suicide haunts him all the way to the Hawaiian bathing paradise, but although he always carries her suicide note with him, the closed townsperson refuses to take note of Liza's reasons. On the way back he developed his method of displacement with the help of gasoline, which he inhaled from the tank of his car. Dazed by the addictive substance, he shows increasingly strange behaviors. He loses his job and breaks up with all his friends and acquaintances. He ends up homeless.
production
Much of the recordings were made in Mobile, Alabama .
criticism
The lexicon of international films judged the production to be a "sensitively told, well-acted drama." In addition, "the psychologically mature film [...] developed its serious subject largely convincingly." "
