In a holiday mood filled with yearning on the island of Sardinia, far removed from everyday life, a couple’s problems with freedom and conformity take a dramatic turn for the worse. The intimate and all-too-familiar feelings, situations and behaviour patterns are conveyed by outstanding actors.

“Everyone Else puts love under the microscope … it comes breathtakingly close to perfection” (New York Times).
