Synopsis: For middle-aged Kostis (Papadimitriou), life has passed him by. As the newly appointed doctor of a tiny island, Kostis spends a dreary winter alone. By the time summer arrives, though, the island has turned into a thriving, wild vacation spot with nude beaches and crazy parties. When Kostis meets the beautiful and flirty Anna (Tringou), he falls hard for her and goes out of his way to conquer and impress her. Before long, Kostis is spending nearly all of his time getting drunk and partying. What starts as a rediscovery with his lost-long youth, though, slowly turns into an obsession as Kostis is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his Anna.
Review: The mid-life crisis taken very seriously by a Greek doctor. Confronted to sexually very opened young people, he believes finding love. The role is not convincing and many parts of the story are repetitive, especially the acting of the young group. But the acting of the doctor is convincing and therefore it deserves more than 2/10. 
Otherwise, one beach, young people naked. Ok, nothing new. Possibly we get clear the boring life of people in these beach island that live only from tourism. This may be the originality of the movie.
Rating: 3 /10
