Sandra (Carol Alt) has a rousing fight with her Italian husband, Paolo, and kicks him out of the house. They divorce. She seeks solace in the arms of a fellow doctor named Marcello while Paolo becomes involved with an accomplished pool player named Lisa (Brigitte Nielsen). Yet, time and again, even on vacation, Sandra and Paolo find they are still attracted to one another. The fighting continues, however. What's a couple to do?

This is one mixed-up movie. The plot is an indescribable slapdash concoction where Sandra and Paolo fight and make-up till the cows come home.

Of course, Alt and Nielsen are lovely to look at and the male leads are equally attractive. But, alas, the movie can hardly succeed on looks alone. Or can it? For those individuals who make a habit of searching for unknown romance films or for those who merely like to see beautiful people on the screen, this one is for you!

Italian cinema has deeply influenced world cinema through its socially conscious realism and modernist experimentation, but it also flourished in popular genres like peplum (sword & sandal), giallo thrillers, and broad comedies. Its narratives often weave together politics, contemporary social change, class consciousness, and family dynamics, balancing artistic ambition with entertainment that resonated widely.
