In 1970, Daria Halprin traumatized by Mark's death watches her father's villa exploding sending furnishings, books, and glassware drifting like fallen stars — arrives not as narrative payoff but as a transcendent metaphor for the spiritual unrest of modern America. A symbolic collapse of the American consumer dream. It’s less a filmic conclusion than a meditative act of annihilation, signaling a longing to dismantle civilization’s banal comforts.
