Synopsis
A group of 20 vacationers arrive in a vacation village on the shores of Africa in need of a few days rest and relaxation. And they are determined to make the most of their vacation. The story takes us on the tragic, yet hilarious adventures of feisty Nathalie, Gigi, self-confident Jerome, Christiane, and unlucky Jean-Claude. Of course, the adventures wouldn’t be the same without the charming vacation village staff: Popeye, the handsome, buff, sexy activity leader who’s driving all the men’s wives wild, Bourseault, who’s stealing Gigi’s heart, and Bobo, just a regular guy who’s dying to make it in Paris. This motley crew will spend eight fun-filled days together until they part ways, each to pick up their lives where they left off.
