Tired of her blond perfections, the hero leaves the pleasant in all respects Vanessa Redgrave with her eyes of a deer and tourist fever: “we are together by habit.”
Not long before he met Moro. A hundred years ago, she loved a sailor from Gibraltar, a blue-eyed killer of twenty years, he dreamed of big cities, bright lights, boulevards and movies, and she was only a woman. Since then, she has been looking for it everywhere, checking every man she meets if there is a secret scar behind her ear (so you can know for sure).
The hero joins her in search - on the Greek Hydra, in black Africa, in Alexandria, begins to go crazy because it is unclear whether this sailor was, and because she made a myth out of him. That's how their love grows. After Alexandria, where they may have found it, they go to Yokohama, because the point is to find it.
In the middle of the film, Moro sings a wonderful song.
Moreau loved to sing.
