Olympic gymnastics coach Francine Lake (Lauren Hutton) and her 12 students train on the Island of Crete. The rigors of training preclude most sexual activity with the locals, thus the girls spend their evenings in quiet frustration. Likewise repressed is training-school janitor Ulysses (Svestislav Goncic), a notorious peeping tom. When one of the girls is sexually assaulted, Ulysses is the most likely suspect. It turns out, however, that the film's true antagonist is much closer to the situation than it first appears. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Luka has graduated from college, and he has traveled abroad and seen how people live there. Recently, he returned from his trip and was arrested at the border on a drug charge. They only took his passport, though. He has no job, so he hangs around with his buddies wherever he can, getting into scrapes with them as they battle punk gangs (generally losing) and cops (always losing). His big dream is to get his passport back and attend that German festival to inebriation known as Oktoberfest. However, the obstacles he faces are so daunting that by the time his mother actually obtains his passport for him, it's doubtful that he is capable of lightheartedly enjoying anything anymore. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

In this light comedy that does not have much going for it except the lead actress Sonja Savic, a young woman decides it is time to have an adult relationship with a man, and believing that her nose is too unattractive, she opts for cosmetic surgery. Along with the change in her facial configuration, she also changes from jeans to skirts -- and of course, a former boyfriend suddenly sees her in a different light. It looks as if her first adult relationship will be built on surface appearances. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

In this slightly abstruse film, especially for anyone not familiar with the revolutionary fervor among East European students in 1968, a revolutionary who idolizes Che Guevara and has his own small group of followers, comes up against a mass of students at a university demonstration. While an actor declaims lines spoken by Danton from a play on the French Revolution, the devoted Che disciple stands up and exhorts the students in his own rhetoric, leaving them confused. In the end, he falls to his death from a window, and another "revolutionary" dressed up as Karl Marx picks up the sheets of paper of Che's writings near the dead man and continues on his way. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Rados (Svetislav Goncic) is a young man who lives in the provinces of Yugoslavia and who has his heart set on becoming a great pianist making music for humanity, and nothing less than that. His companions at the Belgrade Academy of Music are not beset by the same economic deprivation as Rados, and they spend their time in effete pursuits, romantic liaisons, parties, and generally egocentric behavior. Rados' simmering anger starts to heat up when he sees the enormous gap between the pretensions of the students and the nature of brilliantly composed music. When he finally does vent his opinions, he is ostracized as rudely as possible. Just when everything looks fairly glum, his beloved grandfather shows up with a piano for him, and Rados is inspired to compose once again. In the meantime, he is sidetracked by his forced sexual engagements with his landlady (in lieu of rent), and is distracted that his schoolmates seem more interested in that side of him than in his qualities as a composer. He begins to lose heart, knowing he will have to decide whether to accept the status quo and live with it, or abandon his aspirations entirely. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
