Benvenuta in paradiso (1998)
Stella è una splendida quarantenne: donna in carriera, separata con un figlio, bella. E terribilmente sola. Quando il figlio raggiunge il padre per una vacanza, lei coglie la palla al balzo e parte con una vecchia amica. Addio angosciante a San Francisco, Giamaica arrivo! Mare incantevole, alberghi faraonici, parties à go-go: oltre al meritato relax arriva anche la sospirata avventura. Stella conosce un ventenne statuario e in poche ore, dopo qualche perplessità, scoppia la passione. Ma il destino è in agguato. L'improvvisa scomparsa dell'amica ricondurrà ogni cosa alla sua reale dimensione.
