Other than the boatman who ferries back and forth to the mainland, the island's only inhabitants are a fisherman and his very pretty daughter Eleni (Eleni Drogoumi). Eleni seems a bit different right from the beginning; on the one hand, she likes wandering around dressed only in a long shirt, and on the other, she has a penchant for swimming all night with the dolphins. When the usually arrogant geologist starts transferring some of his interest from rocks to Eleni's comings-and-goings, he wonders if there is not something fishy about her parentage.

Bouilloux
Although based on a novel by Georges Simenon, director (and songwriter) Serge Gainsbourg has superimposed several dark emotions and a subtle brutality over the weak plot about a man's trip to Africa and his unfortunate passion for a murderess whose amorality sends the disillusioned fellow back to Europe. Sometimes described as frustrating and self-centered, reactions to this film swing across a broad spectrum of complaints -- not the least might be whether or not Gainsbourg is using a clichéd and stereotypical view of "dark Africa" to convey what he sees in his characters.

영화 는 전적으로 종교의 문제에 매달린 예외적이고도 전형적인 브뉘엘의 작품이다. 스페인의 성지 산티아고 데 콤포스텔라로 순례를 떠난 두 주인공의 여행기를 실험적인 피카레스크 구성으로 묘사하는 작품이다. 은하수란 별들의 길을 일컫기도 하지만, 파리에서 산티아고까지의 지난한 순례행로를 의미하는 말이기도 하다. 두 순례자는 6세기의 프리실리안을 비롯해, 17세기의 예수회, 18세기의 사드 후작에 이르기까지 서구 기독교의 온갖 교파와 윤리를 길 위에서 목도한다. 68년을 목도하며 이천년간 서구를 지배해 온 기독교를 헤집는 브뉘엘의 시선은 사드와 니체를 닮아 있다. 역시 장 끌로드 까리에르와 협력한 시나리오를 바탕으로 한 영화이다.
