A German student, Stefan, who has finished his studies, decides to have an adventure, get out of his conservative skin and to burn his bridges. After hitch-hiking to Paris, he commits burglary to get money and meets a free-spirited American girl, Estelle, following her to
Ibiza . He discovers she is in trouble with a man named Wolf. Stefan saves Estelle from Wolf only to find she does not really want to be saved, and she introduces him toheroin (referred to by the old street name, "horse") which she has stolen from Wolf. The inevitable spiral into drug abuse and denial ends tragically when Stefan dies.This story is modeled on the myth of
Daedalus and Icarus with the girl as the Sun.Production
The French film Censorship Board in 1969 insisted that some of the dialog be censored around the 81 minute mark before the film could be released. In the film, as the couple mix up a hallucinogenic concoction in the kitchen, the ingredients "
benzedrine " and "banana peel" are deleted from the audio track. On theDVD , the words have been re-added as subtitles.Most of the movie was shot on the island of
Ibiza . The castle of Ibiza, which dominates the harbour and the town, is the scene for the final act. The location of Stefan's death, a tunnel near the castle, has since become a place of pilgrimage for addicts.External links
