Storyline
On a journey to San Francisco, Richard, his father and cousin Emmeline find themselves on a ship about to explode. Rushed to a lifeboat with Paddy Button, the two children escape while their father (and uncle) are on another lifeboat. In the chaos following, the lifeboats are separated. Paddy, Richard and Emmeline find themselves with no food and no water stuck in the middle of nowhere. After some time, the three come across an uncharted paradise, where Paddy quickly teaches the children fishing, hunting and building. After maybe a month or two, Paddy gets very drunk off a barrel of rum found on the island when they first arrive, and drowns in the middle of the night. Emmeline and Richard, now alone and very scared, move location and rebuild their island home. Many years later, the two young teenagers have developed a very real home, but hormones and feelings between the two strain their friendship... Written by Bree Pearson

Trivia
All the nude scenes depicting Emmeline include a body double. Brooke Shields always had to have hair glued to her chest for the other scenes. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: When Emmeline walks in the water she accidentally steps on a fish and gets sick. The fish that the movie shows is called Stone Fish and in fact if you step on one the venom will cause excruciating pain and also shock, paralysis, tissue death and if not treated within few hours also death. Emmeline doesn't seem to suffer from any of these symptoms and it seems it takes some time until Richard finds her. See more »Quotes
