Storyline

In this comedy, Dalila (33), her husband Grebo (35) and their daughter Sanja (7) are on holidays in the hotel resort at the Croatian coast. Exposure to the sea, sun and hotel activities stimulate Grebo and Dalila to increasing mutual desire that is hard to control. Sanja, who hopes to learn to swim in deep water during this holiday, learns shocking facts of life through Lucija (11), the daughter of the hotel chambermaid. Sanja is also mesmerised by Flora (33), the English woman who works at the hotel. Flora’s nephew Adam (6) is taken by Sanja’s squeaking slippers and is falling seriously in love with her. When Grebo and Dalila see Flora for the first time through Sanja’s eyes, they understand her fascination. However, Flora’s beauty stirs up strange feelings within them, complicating their 10-year marriage in a hilarious way, while discovering completely new possibilities in life. Holidays soon spin out of control....
