A rebellious romance and an unexpected shipwreck set the stage for sun-soaked drama.
SUMMER AFFAIR
A rich girl falls for an older hippie boy. Her parents don't approve and try to stop her from seeing him.
Proof that running off to a villa rarely goes as planned—especially in Italian cinema.
Long before Ornella Muti became a household name, she set the screen ablaze as a rebellious heiress tangled up with a hippie outcast. Giorgio Stegani steers this sun-drenched Italian romance where parental meddling, police searches, and a literal castaway twist keep the heat rising.
