This 1960s Italian drama stars Monica Vitti and Richard Harris and marks director Michelangelo Antonioni's first venture into colour film. Guiliana (Vitti) becomes mentally unstable after being in a car accident but tries to keep her condition from her husband, Ugo (Carlo Chionetti). Lonely, she begins to open up to Ugo's business associate, Corrado (Harris), and they gradually become closer as they spend more time together. Meanwhile, she suffers setbacks that only seem to add to her feeling of isolation.
