"An all-out assault on Bourgeois sensibilities that can be cited in the same breath as Last Tango In Paris." -The Los Angeles Times Erik Vonk (Rutger Hauer) is a carefree artist and ladies man until he meets Olga (Monique van de Ven), a beautiful young woman with an equal passion for sexual adventure. They marry in a frenzy of erotic ecstasy, only to find that real life has other plans.
