Plot

She’s the most beautiful, most short-sighted, most sentimental, most perplexing, most obstinate, most untrustworthy and most troubling of heroines. The lady in the car has never seen the sea.

Sinekatalog’s take

A sentimental, short-sighted woman who has never seen the sea is swept up in a mystery behind the wheel. Sfar gives the story a retro, stylish gloss in the manner of sixties thrillers; it is charming and somewhat hollow, enjoyable mainly for its look.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
