A hippie arrives in Israel and hitches a ride with a woman. They form a romantic relationship and meet other hippies, but strange men are chasing the American and kill most of the hippie group. The American, his girlfriend and another couple go to a nearby island to "be free", but the island is just a pile of rocks and their boat drifts away. They are unable to swim for the nearby shore because sharks are in the water.
This would have been much better if it was shorter. The pacing was just too slow to hold my attention. About half an hour would have fit the plot nicely and even included the inconclusive ending. The dream sequence had no sound and it was obvious that the actor was doing a real time slow motion effect. He swung a long hammer very slowly at reel to reel machines which were turning quickly. The sharks were the fakest I've ever seen. Their whole bodies were visible and they were not moving. Even having someone underwater holding up a fin would have worked better. The soundtrack featured a repeated song that got annoying by the second repitition. This is another "worst" movie and it did suck, but was definitely better than some I've seen. I rate it bad. Don't watch it.
