Movie Description From eccentric Yugoslavian director Dusan Makavejev (SWEET MOVIE) comes this edgy comedy about a bored woman's liberation through sex. Unhappy American spouse Marilyn Jordan (Susan Anspach) is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She lives with her remote husband, Martin -- the erotic equivalent of a two-minute yawn. One day at the airport, she is separated from him, misses her plane, and joins up with some jovial Yugoslavian immigrants. She begins an affair with one of them, Montenegro, and must then decide whether her new life of unremitting passion can substitute for the stability she abandoned.
