The film is full of obscenities, but it successfully makes Marlena a mythical character, and makes the heroine played by Monica Bellucci enter the hearts of all men. This woman who waited for her husband to return from the army was just because she was so beautiful, so she attracted countless gossip. Until the bad news came, Marlena's life completely collapsed. Her husband died in battle, and a grand memorial service was held in his honor in town. Marlena was dressed up as the Virgin Mary and participated in the parade. However, everyone's eyes were filled with the fire of desire, as if Marlena's husband only incurred jealousy and hatred because he was too handsome.
Soon, someone tore the apparent calm and Marlena was accused of destroying someone else's family because the dentist said he was her fiancé. This ridiculous trial caught the attention of men in town, but no one defended her, only the brightest lawyers. Marlena did not commit other crimes, she was only charged because she was too beautiful, so her crime was to incur jealousy because she was too beautiful. Marlena was not found guilty, but rumors have begun to spread.
Since then, the whole town has thought that Marlena was an unruly woman, the government stopped her pension, the women in the town did not sell her food, the men did not give her jobs, and someone even wrote to her father to humiliate her. Marlena's father quit his school job because he couldn't stand the gossip and broke off the father-daughter relationship with her. Until the lawyer forcibly entered into a relationship with her on the grounds of repaying the lawyer's fees. This poor woman was completely knocked out by life. Marlena has no source of income, and she has to endure harassment and insults from men, even for food.
After the outbreak of war, countless warplanes flew over the town and dropped two bombs, unfortunately, Marlena was attacked by artillery fire and left alone. At her father's funeral, men lined up to bring her "comfort," but they just took the opportunity to rub oil and even use obscenities. Marlena cut off her long hair, and when she reappeared the next day, her hair turned brown, her lips were painted with flaming red lips, and her black dress set off her beauty that shook the city. She no longer lowered her eyebrows, but became fierce and fearless. She only needs to take out a cigarette, and countless men will hand her fire, but what she needs is not fire, but someone who can remove the cigarette for her. But who cares? How ugly human nature is when beauty becomes original sin.
