Magical light creates stunning visions in Alexander Wainwright's landscape paintings.

An English tourist representative in Sardinia of 1962 seeks a Sard girl-friend, but is frustrated by local attitudes, with “continental†freedoms considered "immoral". Eventually he finds a girl who's unaccepted at home, but she falls for his friend, an introspective lawyer. Among others he meets are a tempestuous local maid, a pedantically Catholic schoolteacher, and a flamboyant American woman.
