German student Stefan Brückner hitchhikes across Europe looking for adventure after finish studying math. He meets Estelle Miller at a party in Paris. Despite warning from a friend, he follows her to Ibiza. As she falls further into heroin, she introduces him to the needle.
This is a rather slow and straight forward drug movie. My major problem is the lackluster couple. Other than getting naked and being beautiful, Estelle is not more than a bohemian druggie. Stefan starts off as a stiff. Despite the hippie changeover, his character is never far from being stiff. There are darker portrayals of drug use around. Director Barbet Schroeder has some mainstream success later on as well. This one is an art-house film with some interesting bites.
