All see the boat's crew as below them, but none more so than Amber whose demanding and condescending nature is driving fisherman Giuseppe (ADRIANO GIANNINI) crazy. The boat's captain tells him to grin and take it, but Giuseppe is beginning to near the end of his rope.
Things change when Amber orders that he ferry her to some nearby caves to meet her friends. He's reluctant to go due to the distance, strong tides and unpredictable weather, but she orders him to do so. Out in the middle of nowhere, their small dinghy's motor stops working and then the two inadvertently partially capsize it.
They eventually spot a remote and uninhabited island where she continues with her condescension toward him. The tables are eventually turned, however, when hunger sets in and she realizes he's going to be the only source of food for her. Noting this, Giuseppe begins ordering her around like a slave, and she angrily and reluctantly goes along with his demands.
Yet, as time passes and she begins to change her demeanor to that of submissiveness, a bond begins to form between them. From that point on, they must decide how they feel about each other and what to do should they get a chance to get off their new island home.
Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, including the rich being condescending toward the working class and a fisherman treating one of those women like a slave (ordering her around, repeatedly striking/hitting her and nearly raping her). That near rape may be disturbing to viewers sensitive to such material.
Various characters smoke and/or drink (some to the point of being intoxicated) and some drugs are briefly seen.

For those concerned with bright flashes of light on the screen, some of that occurs during a nighttime thunderstorm at sea scene.
