The concluding chapter of Michelangelo Antonioni’s trilogy is a romantic drama and a “story of imprisoned sentiments” that follows the love life of Vittoria, a beautiful literary translator living in Rome. After splitting from her writer boyfriend, Riccardo, free from an uncomfortable and meaningless relationship, she soon finds herself falling for the charms of self-absorbed young stockbroker Piero, only to drift into yet another ill-fated romantic affair. Though Vittoria and Piero begin a relationship, it is not one without difficulties. Against the backdrop of a nearly-deserted city, the two lovers will eventually face a bitter, unbearable reality: their commitment to one another is tested during an eclipse showing us how, sometimes, human connection is simply impossible.
