A 40-year-old architect begins to doubt his role as a father in a world sliding into decadence. When he meets a young Polish girl he runs off with her to Rhodes. His psycho-moralistic angst is presented in a series of flashbacks when the hijack of his airplane forces him to take stock of his life.—Hannelore Goossens

Architect Marc Dumont (40) reminisces his life in flashbacks as hostage during an airplane hijacking. He got bored with is seemingly perfect life, in a villa with dull wife and daughter Rita, despite an awkwardly close bond with doting son Bruno. In John's antiques shop, he met and started an affair with puzzling Polish sales assistant Jadwiga, a terrible tease who lured him on a holiday to Rhodes.—KGF Vissers
