John and Marilyn Jennings are newlyweds. They have just completed two weeks of their honeymoon in Hawaii in 1989, and have rented a one bedroom apartment in Honolulu. They are attempting to establish themselves in what John believes to be paradise.
The beauty of the islands has motivated John to write poetry and prose daily, and he delights in the sights, smells, and colors of the sea and sky. Both have recently graduated from college, and Marilyn is eager for John to find a job and establish some family income. She is practical, while John is artistic and romantic.
They begin to experience conflict regarding the physical nature of their relationship. Marilyn grows frustrated with John's constant romantic passion and his poetic fantasies, as she calls them. John can't get enough affection, while Marilyn longs for John to "give her some space." She pressures him to seek employment, to establish his career, and to create some income so the practical aspects of their lives can emerge.
Serious verbal sparring results, and anger erupts. They discover major differences in viewpoint regarding their expectations in marriage. John is injured in an accident, and further confusion and frustration emerge as they sort out their differences. Finally, circumstances lead them to find delight in their future.
