Claire (Marianne Basler) has her vacation go from dream to nightmare in this prison melodrama. Claire is arrested by the puritanical cop Kasta (Vittorio Mezzogiorno) after she is seen by him topless and necking with her boyfriend on a secluded beach. When Claire refuses to sign a confession, Kasta frames her for drug dealing. Clair is sent to an island prison where she contends with the usual women-in-prison problems of leering lesbians, murderers, drug addicts, and sadistic guards. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

They manage to pick up and seduce a pretty hitchhiker before discovering that she is a runaway minor with a reward pending for her return. They bring her back to her family, collect the reward, and get told off by the girl before returning to their homes. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

In this very low-key film, 20-year-old Thomas discovers that he is not a particularly nice fellow and has no special reason to like himself. His inquisitiveness is at least in part responsible for his parents' divorce, as he discovered the cache of love-letters which proved that his mother had an extramarital liaison. He also cannot decide between his working-class girlfriend and an upper-class girl. Matters are taken out of his hands when the upper-class girl's father intervenes, and he is separated from the other girl when he goes to college. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Sometimes the story that a journalist is assigned lands him with a boring tale. That's what Francois (Jean-Michel Folon) believes when he is given the job of writing about a "worker"'s life. When he meets the man, he discovers that the man's wife has just left him and moved back to her mother's. The newsman and a friend of his take the poor man out on the town to comfort him. The reporter also interviews the woman who is making the worker's life difficult and even finds a way to fix things up between the couple. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
