Synopsis

Stefan is a young student looking for adventure and hoping to find himself. Making his journey towards the sun he hitch-hikes from Germany to Paris, where he meets a young American drifter, Estelle, who introduces him to drugs. In their pursuit of powerful emotions and experiences, the young lovers go to Ibiza where they live out their dangerous passion.
As prisoners of their hopeless love affair and also of drug addiction and a former friend of Estelle’s, the only end possible for them is a tragic one…
