unremarkable love story between a well educate woman ( scachi ) and a simple scottish sailor ( donofrio ) that go on and on for almost thirty year . they live separate life but sometimes they get together and live passionate and feverish day of pure joy and lovemaking . a thin plot and cardboard characterization and dialogue make this one a boring and peasant look upon the problem of the relationship of two diferent person . besides and donofrio be completely miscast in the role of a scottish fellow . i give this a 4 ( four ) .
