Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
An Austrian matron travels to Kenya in search of love, but finds only disappointment after becoming seduced by some handsome young suitors involved in the country's lucrative sex trade. Emotionally drained by her demanding job caring for the physically disabled and weary of fighting with her rebellious teenage daughter, 50-year-old Teresa (Margarethe Tiesel) packs her bags, and heads off to Kenya with her best friend (Inge Maux). Upon arriving at their picturesque destination, Teresa and her traveling companion begin casually breezing through the virile young studs who line the beaches each morning to the delight of vacationing ladies. But Teresa doesn't just want sex; she's looking for a relationship with real substance. Unfortunately in this paradise, love is just about the only thing that isn't up for sale.
