Storyline
Marcello is in the compartment of an Italian train, facing forward when the mineral water of the woman seated across from him starts to fall toward him. He catches the bottle and makes eye contact and follows her when she leaves the compartment. For a few moments she finds him attractive too. Then suddenly she gets off the train and starts walking through a field. Marcello follows her, loses her, finds himself in a large hotel surrounded by women. A feminist conference is taking place and he tries to escape. Written by Dale O'Connor <daleoc@interaccess.com>

It's eerie, captivating, extremely unpredictable but entertaining all at once. It really feels like a journey through someone else's dream/nightmare. You have a hard time remembering the transitions of different scenes. Sometimes you don't remember why the main character is in there or how he got there. The music, production, costumes, weird characters and dialogue; all set the tone correctly for a confusing movie.
A womanizer man is stranded in a place controlled completely by feminist women with different ideologies and he is trying to make sense of his surroundings.
