Either a failed love affair or the Swedish winter would be enough to send almost anyone off on a Mediterranean holiday. Torc has had to endure both of these. So it's little wonder that he overdoes a bit during his first few days in Cyprus, even if his getting drunk and going nude bathing on a clothed beach does land him in jail briefly. Still, his woman tour guide is rather miffed at him for this inconveniently rowdy behavior. Now committed to mineral water as his drink of choice, he accompanies the few folks on the tour who will speak to him on long walks, and he falls in love with his tour guide in this whimsical movie, based on the novel by Stig Claesson.
