Long banned for its explicit sexual content, the film finally screened in Yugoslavia in 1983, by which time the once‑taboo scenes seemed tame. Aside from the censorship notoriety, the plot is a bland tale of a forbidden affair between an older sports director’s wife and a young athlete, set against a backdrop of athletic ambition and deep yearning.
