CGiii Comment

A burning sun and the deep blue sea – it's there for the taking on paradise island! And that's what they're here for, Elisa, Richie, Florian, Daniel... They're young. They're hungry for life. And they've left the cold, gray North behind for fun and adventure on a Mediterranean island. Elisa: rich, spoiled, fleeing from daddy and his stifling upper-class morals. Richie: the sexy drifter for whom every woman is a potential meal ticket; Florian: sensitive, gentle, the type not only girls gravitate to; Daniel: stuck between adolescence and small-mindedness. But even in paradise there are some dark corners that never get any sun. It's where you can lose your way, or your bearings... where you can discover love or refuse to see it... where you realize that you haven't really left the cold, gray North behind – but that it's inside you - and that this is real life...

An impressive debut feature by Rolf S. Wolkenstein that takes a wry, unflinching look at young people suddenly facing the hard realities of life on a deceptively sunny vacation island.
