It it's Tuesday, this must be Tunisia

Warning: Spoilers
A group of Spanish tourists embark in an adventure while taking part of a tour to Tunisia. Three friends, Carmen, Mari Angeles and Mercedes, have gone to the trip with men in their minds. Little prepare them for what they are going to find! This motley group endure what most tourists have to put up with when traveling with people they don't really know, or even like, for the sake of having been to a vacation that looks good on paper, but it turns out to be a different story when the feel another vacation is needed to recuperate from the present one.

As far as romance in a strange land goes, only two of the friends experience something that might resemble bliss. Another woman gets more than what she bargained for at the hands of a French man that loves the use of whips and other paraphernalia for his enjoyment in the bedroom. The third one ends up attracting a young man without much sexual experience.

The comedy, directed by Francesc Betriu, is only mildly funny. The screenplay is credited to Rafael Azcona and the late Carmen Rico Godoy, a popular columnist for a newspaper and the author of some books in which she examined the lives of her fellow Spaniards.
