在这部月神剧情片中,乔在父亲死后，陪母亲卡特琳娜赴意大利参加歌剧演出，却因寂寞而染上毒瘾，使卡特琳娜份外心痛，对乔百般迁就，竟使两人发展出一段畸恋，在道德觉醒下，幸未造成大错。卡特琳娜不得已将隐藏多年，乔另有生父的秘密说出，为使父母破镜重圆，乔乃前去找寻亲身父亲。
导演用弗洛伊德的精神分析学说来阐述这对母子的行为，认为人的所有意义和能力都源自于性欲的需求，月亮是代表母亲和女性形象的载体，以隐喻母亲对儿子的性影响
Recently widowed American opera diva Caterina takes her teenaged son Joe with her on a long singing tour to Italy. Absorbed in her hectic work in various Verdi operas around Rome, Caterina is soon shocked to discover that her troubled and lonely son has become a heroin addict. Her desperate attempts to wean the youth off the drug result in an incestuous relationship, but also in a possibility to reunite Joe--maybe even herself--with his real father, whose existence she has kept a secret from him.
"I want to understand you,I want to be inside you "。luna。《月亮》电影剧本。畸恋的救赎。禁止還是逃避？。病态不是变态。被遗忘的月神~。影片最终考验的还是编辑、导演和演员.....。啤酒瓶上的蛋卷。
