Summary |
A middle-aged man and his wife invite a young hitch-hiker aboard their sailboat for a Sunday outing in the Polish lake district. The two men flaunt their sophistication and virility before the woman, revealing a cynical sadism on the part of the husband and a growing resentment in the knife-wielding youth. |
