Running Away Backwards (1965)

Approximately 1,000 expatriate Canadians live on the island of Ibiza off the coast of Spain. They have come to the island to escape from their Canadian life both to view critically their life back home, and to gain a new perspective of life through what they call moral freedom. Two of those Canadians are Jake and Dick, who have differing views of life on Ibiza. Jake, who has been on the island for a few years with his family, does believe that his experience on the island has been a beneficial one, which has allowed him to do what he wants when he wants. Dick, who is a more recent arrival with his wife Ginette, has had an antagonistic relationship with life on Ibiza ever since the beginning. He does truly believe that place is important and that freedom is a function of place. Their views may dictate how much time each has left in their Ibiza experiment.
