This film tells the story of Isabel's exploration of her 17-year-old youth through four different seasons and four songs.
The hostess Isabel is a young girl with a beautiful face and a graceful figure. She hastily gave her first night to a German on holiday. After that, she began to live two different lives, one is a good girl in the eyes of her family and teachers, and the other is a happy helper life.
In the process, she met all kinds of guests, and her favorite was an old man named George. During the sex with George, Isabel felt that she was treated equally and found her place. But in an attempt at a new posture, George died of a heart attack, and Isabel fled the scene in panic with the money. The police found Isabel's mother through the surveillance video and told her the truth. Isabel's mother asked why, and made Isabel swear that she would never do such a thing again, forcing Isabel to see a psychiatrist.
Through Isabel's conversation with a psychiatrist. Isabel likes George because he is very kind and gentle. He doesn't want much, he just wants to caress him. Because of George's death, she doesn't want to do it anymore. She feels dirty.
Isabel went back to her old life. She made a new boyfriend, but soon broke up again. George's wife turned on her cell phone again and contacted Isabel. They talked about George. They were lying in the room where George died. When Isabel woke up, the people around her had left.
In the process of finding herself, Isabel tried to find herself through sex.
Freud put forward three kinds of personality: id, ego and superego.
Isabel was influenced by the original driving force. She realized her inner wish, so she wanted to do it. She is not bound by morality, but enjoys happiness. Blind pursuit of satisfaction, confusion, melancholy, but also freedom.
Isabel's mother also has a strong desire. Under the sanction of realistic morality, she cheated on her friend, which is a kind of self-expression.
And George's wife is the embodiment of superego. George often goes out to find other women. She was in pain, but she finally got used to it. "If I had been brave and not so shy, I hope he would have given me money to love, but I have never changed. Sometimes I dream, but now I'm too old, that's what I get. " Her inner desires are clamoring, but she is shy and depressed because of ethics. Her behavior is moral, but the ID is contradictory.
17 years old, an age of hormone production. At this age, Isabel used the most direct and primitive impulse to find herself. She observes personnel coldly, and she is tired of those hypocritical and shaky norms. She hates to see her mother wearing a mask, her attitude of being treated unfairly, and those old and boring routines. She always shows her true self and knows what she wants.
The old woman left, leaving Isabel in the empty room. Her figure is reflected in the mirror. It's all like a dream. Isabel burst into a bright smile. Life goes on, this is the beginning and the end.

We didn't take it seriously when we were seventeen.
A wonderful night, fuck lemonade and beer,
Go to the fucking noisy coffee shop! The lights are shining!
-Let's go for a walk under the green bodhi tree.
On a beautiful night in June, the bodhi tree exudes fragrance!
The air is sometimes so mild that we close our eyes;
With all kinds of silent winds, the city is not far away,
The smell of vines and beer ...
two
This is the ball we see.
Dark sky, surrounded by a twig,
Gently trembling stabbed a knife.
Melt the small, white bad stars ...
Night in June! Seventeen! -We got ourselves drunk.
The juice is champagne, rushing to your head. ...
We talk nonsense; We felt a kiss on our lips.
It jumps there like a little beast. ...
three
After the madness of the legendary Robinson,
-Under the dim street lamp,
Walking past a girl humming a charming tune,
In the shadow of her father's terrible fake collar ...
Besides, because she thinks you are extremely naive,
Is trotting in Victoria Christina Hesketh,
She turned suddenly, agile and clever,
-A short song will die on your lips ...
four
You are in love. Be praised until August.
You are in love. Your career makes her laugh and be happy.
With all your friends gone, you are shameless and rude.
Then one night, my beloved deigned to write a letter to you!
That night ... you came back to the coffee shop radiant,
You order beer or lemon juice. ...
We didn't take it seriously when we were seventeen.
And where we walk, there are green bodhi everywhere.
This poem was written by the talented poet Rambo. What appeared in the movie was the second film, Qiu. This poem and the film fit just right, which makes people feel a little sad and confused. "We 17 don't take it seriously." The whole poem echoes from beginning to end, just like the four parts of the film, like the infinite cycle of life. 17 years old, with the breath of 1 youth hall and green bodhi, with cigarettes and wine, mixed with the sadness, confusion and glory of youth. /kloc-When we are 0/7 years old, we don't know what we want to do or what kind of person we want to be. But Isabel clearly knows that she is also trying to explore. She is exploring her feelings, her world and herself.
We, who think we know the world, try our best to suppress our inner desires, ignore the ID and think it is evil. This primitive surge is strictly bound by morality and norms. When will we know what we really want? Of course, moral restraint is indispensable, but you might as well stop for a while and listen to your real desires.
