action
The hermit Peter, who once worked as a lecturer in Germany, has developed into an eccentric disappointed by the people and the world and has withdrawn from civilization to a lonely island off the Yugoslav Adriatic coast. One day a very pretty young girl ends up there, who is very determined in her demeanor and knows exactly what she wants.
Her name is Eva, is a German student and, as a blonde, erotic siren, begins to seduce the much older Peter according to all the rules of female seduction, in order to "release" him from his Dalmatian Robinson existence. Little does Peter know that Eva was sent by his domineering mother, who wants to guide him back to civilization in this way. The relationship between Peter and his mother is heavily strained because the old woman once led him into a catastrophic marriage with a criminal outcome.

Reviews
The criticism didn't leave the film good hair. Here are a few examples:
"Involuntarily exhilarating, boring 'sex' film."
Paimann's film lists summed up: “Except for, at least from yugosl. Co-producers provided batches of a two-person film - they were overwhelmed and he was too mature for the role - which after an excessively stretched start does not really get going and apart from its coastal pictures ... is only able to satisfy less critical audiences. "
"A miserably played and badly staged colportage story, whose approaches to speculative eroticism could generate involuntary amusement if the film weren't so extremely boring."
