Loneliness is the trembling scenery of a train rushing by and the intense warmth radiating from a stove; each sight and object, under Mühe's fixed camera, precise composition, and lush colors, envelops a heavy sense of solitude, reflecting Mariann's inner world. Awakening to the sudden realization that her husband would leave her, Mariann decides to abandon him first and starts an independent life with her child in the Paris countryside, seeking freedom and joy in translating Flaubert's works, and rediscovering herself in the vast world. Produced by Wim Wenders, and directed for the first time by screenwriter Peter Handke of "The Go-Between" (1975) and "Wings of Desire" (1987), the film adapts the namesake novel onto the screen, portraying a woman’s escape from a noisy world. Loneliness can also be a choice.
