Storyline

Stunningly attractive law student ANTONIA SCHERER and her girlfriend JUDY are earning vacation money as Paparazze for a slimy gossip columnist named WALZ. Part of the job involves trying to snap photos of famous people on the Cote d'Azur.

Realizing that she has been spotted by him, Antonia runs off with the film but is then involved in an accident and loses consciousness. She wakes up to find herself on Leonhardt's private yacht.

User Reviews

Romance mini-series, German style...

I enjoyed watching this movie as it had all the ingredients of a wonderful soap. Coming from the 3rd world, I find it intriguing that soaps, whether Asian, American, Latin American, or in this case, German (!)--are mainly alike. It has the prerequisite boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, complications set in--will boy marry girl? Will it have a "and they lived happily ever after" kind of ending? Its conclusion is somewhat unconventional--not the usual prince and princess riding into the sunset but it holds the same promises that soaps do whether you are watching it in California or Mexico or Manila.

The events move fast, it holds the audience's attention...and if you enjoy sappy love stories, this is one movie you ought to see.
