the disappearance of a woman brings her fiancé and her close friend together in a romantic relationship, perhaps to fill the gap her loss created for both of them. over time, she is slowly rendered into the background, as the search for her morphs slowly into the uncertain attraction, surrounded by a series of inconsequential happenings. but she is never gone entirely, emphasised by a fantastic conclusion. the meandering isn't handled as well as in l'eclisse, but overall it is still very good.
