On a Sicilian island at the height of summer, a woman investigates her best friend’s mysterious disappearance. She becomes involved with her friend’s lover and they drift through Sicily, possibly in love, but unable to find real connection. Antonioni’s acclaimed film launched Vitti to stardom as the beautiful, dissatisfied Claudia, making her the brooding face of 1960s art cinema.
