Very disappointing...
Pretty Good
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
This was one of the only science fiction series made for the french TV at the beginning of the 80s and I saw it when I was a teenager. I bought it recently from INA (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel)for a few euros, and I must concede that it is much worse than what I remembered. It is mainly a holiday catalog (Italy, Columbia, South Africa, Austria,France, Germany) with lot of landscapes and very little dialogs or scenario. The idea is not bad (even if not very original), but it is poorly developed and the acting by Barbara Kramer is terrible. Many details are incorrect on IMDb. The main actors were Josep Maria Flotats and Barbara Kramer (not Michael McGovern), who are present in all six episodes.
