action

The Rehberg family flies to Lanzarote on vacation. For the daughter Beate it should be “the last vacation” after graduating from school. In addition, within a week, on her 18th birthday in Las Palmas, she should take up her inheritance, which her father bequeathed to her and which was administered by a trustee. She meets Miguel and drives him to a lonely beach. At dusk they go out to sea in a rubber dinghy with an outboard motor, and Miguel pushes them into the water to simulate a swimming accident. After a night in the water, she manages to swim back to the beach, and the hippie Gordon takes her to his cave. Later, the hippies help her return to the vacation home. Her appearance there causes great horror, as her stepfather and mother thought she was dead and have already hired another girl to get the inheritance. She flees back to the hippies and Mike and Beate think about how they can catch the legacy sneaks.

Locations

The film was shot in Lanzarote and Gran Canaria . The bus trip through the volcanic landscape to the Montañas del Fuego , the mountains of fire in the Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote, was shot. Both the scene in which Miguel tries to drown Beate and the scenes in which Beate is hiding with the hippies were created on the Papagayo beaches in the southwest of Lanzarote. The hotel in Gran Canaria, in which Beates parents later live, is the former Hotel Don Juan and today's AC Hotel Gran Canaria in Las Palmas .
