Movie propaganda

Amber (Madonna) is 40, beautiful, rich, spoiled and arrogant beyond measure. Selfish, superficial and childless, she steamrolls her way through life, leaving in her wake an ever-present aura of repressed rage, pungent dissatisfaction and secret longing. Nothing makes this woman happy.

On a private cruise from Greece to Italy Amber finds a target for her anger in the ship's first mate, Giuseppe (Adriano Gianini). One day, hours after her companions on the cruise have gone exploring the underwater caves, Amber demands that Giuseppe take her to join them despite his warnings about the late hour and questionable weather. Before long, the boat's motor fails and they drift helplessly as dusk approaches and Amber's bitching reaches an ear-splitting crescendo.

Two days at sea, a thunderstorm and one sardine later they are shipwrecked together on a deserted island. Suddenly, the rules have changed. Amber, to her horror, is now completely dependent on Giuseppe - and he takes full advantage to retaliate. Will they ever be rescued? Will Giuseppe's taunting become too much for the newly vulnerable Amber to bear?

Remade from the 1975 Italian film.
