Castaway

“One Year on a Deserted Tropical Island. 'Wife' 20-30 needed to accompany man 35+. Write to Box 775 with details and evening phone number.”

Tuin is a small island between New Guinea and Australia, and Gerald Kingsland (Oliver Reed) has put a notice in a London paper looking for a woman to spend a year there with him. Lucy Irvine (Amanda Donohoe) answers it, and Nicolas Roeg follows the two of them from the city to the beach, where the place turns out to be nothing like a postcard. Gerald arrives with a plan for the year, but it is Lucy who has to decide whether she can get through it.
