A young woman from Zagreb, the illegitimate daughter of a rich islander, comes to the island where she begins an affair with a married British writer in a midlife crisis. Their sea adventure becomes a forbidden love, a search for identity, intertwined with family values, a tragicomic house renovation and a herd of cows that consumed intoxicants.
