Mike, a Vietnam War veteran from New York, has just landed in Israel. He left the United States as an anti-war protest, and for the last two years has been traveling, primarily in Europe. To those not in the know, Mike's travels look to be aimless, but he is searching for a group of like-minded people where they can settle in total freedom, which is to represent his anti-establishment sentiments, the establishment which turned him into a murderer as a G.I. However, wherever he has traveled, he has been followed by two human figures, the personification of repression, and for him the death of his spirit and soul. He finds who he believes to be at least three of those like minded individuals - Elizabeth, an actress who comes from wealth, and her friends Françoise and Komo. As they search for their Utopia, the question becomes if they find that place - both in geography and in spirit - whether it will be all that they believe it will be.—Huggo
