前南斯拉夫“贝尔格莱德学派”著名导演马卡维耶夫，自1965年推出自己的处女作以来，赢得了世界影坛的关注和赞赏。虽然有人认为他的作品对情色渲染过重，煽动性强不够客观，矫揉造作等多种缺点，但不可否认马卡维耶夫是60年代以后南斯拉夫电影最重要的代表人物之一，也是世界级的著名导演。马卡维耶夫的作品一向比较关注现实，常以看似出离现实的寓言式故事令人反思普通人生活中的荒谬和现实的阴暗低沉。
这个面带微笑的冷酷结尾不由让人想起前捷克名导福尔曼70年代末的名作“飞跃疯人院”，但比之还要残酷，虽然影片最后字幕说明根据真实事件改编，但导演自己的用心却也实在是再明白不过的了。
Marilyn Jordan, an American, lives in Stockholm with her Swedish husband and family. Her behavior is bizarre, perhaps mad: she poisons the dog's milk and advises the dog not to drink it; she sets the sheets afire as her husband sleeps; she crawls under the dining table to sing. While detained at airport customs for carrying pruning shears, she meets a young Yugoslav woman and goes with her to a Gypsy enclave where she's fought over, takes a lover, helps with the sordid entertainment at a bar, and returns home more dangerous than before. The film also tells parallel stories of Marilyn's daughter becoming a junior homemaker as the young immigrant practices her striptease.
