Realistic piece of 70's cinema

Wow i've been using IMDB for so many years now but i'd never come across a movie i watched have no review whatsoever. And it's been voted by only 90 people. Didn't realize that the movie was so obscure. Well it's time to write my own first-ever mini review then! A young Barbara Hershey comes to a Dutch village in sometime in the past and hooks up with the son of the rich local businessman. The people in the village are very conservative and Hershey doesn't believe in panties,bras, shoes etc. for some reason. The young son is also disillusioned with his proper, uptight and greedy father so the two youths bond. Also Hershey has a creepy stepfather WHO walks in the bathroom when she's naked like it's nothing, but that sub plot is never followed through. In fact there are a few other points that are forgotten about towards the end. Over time, the villagers take issue with our leads' skinny-dipping etc. and get more and more agressive. The whole thing ends on a downbeat note in true 70's fashion.

Trivia
Director Nikolai van der Heyde sent many letters to Barbara Hershey, practically begging to play the lead in his picture. When she finally agreed, she took her then boyfriend David Carradine with her, who used the opportunity to do research for his planned picture about the life of Mata Hari.
