Snaporaz, a middle-aged businessman, takes a train through an unmistakably metaphoric tunnel and finds himself in a world completely dominated by women. Widely misinterpreted upon its release as Fellini’s statement on women and the feminist movement, it is rather a film about men’s ideas about women: their fears, fantasies, and projections. Marcello Mastroianni stars as the bruised, baffled, and bedazzled man who stumbles into a feminist convention, setting off a series of wild, surrealistic fantasies evoked with Fellini’s visual and emotional mastery.
