A group of friends lead a hedonistic existence in a small coastal town. Without a goal in their lives they spend their days having fun, drinking and flirting with women. When one the men’s girlfriends gets pregnant his own father makes him marry her. After the wedding and the birth of the baby, this man continues to live as carelessly as before and thus risks destroying his family.
