WINDSURF

Category: Edition 1985

Synopsis
Pierre, a young son of divorced, arrives from Australia to Circeo, where his friendly uncle Lupo lives. The boy is very attached to his partner, also because he is the lucky owner of the "Aloha", a splendid pleasure craft, used for "charter" trips for the Sporting Club's clients. Unfortunately, Lupo has a visceral passion for the table game and the boat lost it to poker with an industrial pasta maker, whose son Luca now occupies her with his girlfriend. To get by, Pierre gets to do the "Windsurfing" instructor at the same Club, where Michela also finds work, a beautiful German she is waiting for boarding the boat, now far away, of her friend and who gives aerobics classes . All declare themselves mobilized, so that Lupo can raise ten million, an indispensable sum to open a new game and try to recover the boat. Money is painstakingly found, even contracting a debt to interest exorbitant with a local camorrista, owner of the Club, but once again Wolf is a loser. Pierre will try to solve the situation, accepting the challenge of Luca, also very strong in "windsurfing": in the race between them only two, the prestigious "Aloha" will be the coveted post. Pierre wins tight, Lupo, now tired, is happy to give the boat to his nephew and the boy, embarked the beautiful German (the two are now in love) and some friends (including his former opponent with his girlfriend) part to a happy cruise.
