本片是费拉里对现代社会文明和小家庭中男子的作用的最新探讨的成果。工程师热拉尔德被妻子抛弃了,并把小儿子皮耶罗特留给了他。当工厂宣布休假时,他把保姆当作情人;在短短的时间内,他重新经受了令人伤脑筋的以两性斗争为特点的两人关系发展的全过程。热拉尔德完全被以性交为表现的男性意识所支配。当他同情人的关系发生危机时,他的情人却和他的前妻成了好朋友。他出于抗议和绝望用一把厨房用的电锯把自己的生殖器割掉了。这个可以作为模式的事件的大部分 (就象在戏剧舞台上一样)发生在一套高层小公寓里。费拉里批判了他的主人公的大男子主义,同时也表现了由于生活(工作,住宅,千篇一律的生活秩序,孤独寂寞)造成的绝望和灰心丧气。如果说影片留下了一种相互矛盾的印象,那是由于影片以独特的方式提出了问题:这个男人是他的行为的牺牲品,也是妇女全面反抗的牺牲品;费拉里在这部影片中同样使用了多种手法,而且通过一些“煽动性"的细节和效果来吸引更多的观众。

For 27-year-old Ben (Josh Lawson), life couldn’t be better. A well paid job, friends, parties, girls and nothing to tie him down. But when he is invited back to his old school to join several other ex-students including Alex (Rachael Taylor) and Jim (Ed Kavalee) in talking about their personal achievements, something goes wrong. Ben is the only speaker not to be asked a question by the school kids. This triggers a year of soulsearching and looking for answers in all the wrong places. From his best friend Andy (Christian Clark) whose solution is that they both take another holiday, to his mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme) who loans him a sports car in the belief that there’s nothing like excessive speed to resolve emotional turmoil. Not even Ben’s father (Rob Carlton) or friends Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Em (Felicity Ward) can offer much in the way of meaningful guidance. Of course, it’s not easy seeking enlightenment in nightclubs, or on the ski fields of New Zealand, and when you start dating a Russian tennis star things can get really complicated. As the poster boy for a generation desperate to tick every box, Ben begins to suspect that the meaning of life may well reside in the things he's already doing - and a girl he used to know.
