Soon the visitors are made to feel unwelcome, the woman especially so; she decides to abandon both the island and her partner. Her decision reminds her of an earlier tale...
...fantasy sequences comprise the film's most imaginative and evocative momements. Mickey, who writes her journal entries in the tub, loves water and one her fantasies is to be seduced on a boat under "the scorching sun."
