After a year's trip around the world, twenty-year-old Daniël comes home where a surprise awaits him. In his absence, his boring bourgeois parents have become completely captivated by the sexual revolution. In their new trendy clothes and their 'groovy' white interior, they make sexual freedom a mockery. This upsets Daniël so much that he flees again. This time to the 'peaceful, unspoilt countryside'. Disillusionment awaits him there too. Frustrations and sexual obsessions appear to be just as intense there as in the big city.
