Paradise 1982

In the midst of the Victorian era, two teenagers, David and Sarah, embark on a perilous journey from Baghdad to Damascus. Traveling with a caravan, they find themselves at an oasis, only to be ambushed by the notorious white slave trader known as the ‘Jackal’. His sinister intent is clear: to add the stunningly beautiful Sarah to his harem of mistresses.

In a harrowing encounter, David, Sarah, and her loyal manservant, Geoffrey, barely manage to escape, but the attack results in the tragic slaying of their companions, including David’s American missionary parents. Tragically, Geoffrey’s luck runs out soon after when he meets his end at the hands of the Jackal as the trio takes a brief respite on their journey towards safety.

As they flee, they stumble upon an enchanting oasis amidst the stark desert, a place that feels like paradise. Here, they experience the awakening of natural love and their burgeoning sexuality. However, the shadow of the Jackal looms large, relentless in his pursuit of Sarah. To protect his beloved, David must summon the courage to confront this villain and ensure his own survival.

In an intense showdown, David finally faces the Jackal and manages to defeat him. After this harrowing ordeal, Sarah shares a life-changing secret with David: she is pregnant. Together, the young lovers find solace and hope as they finally arrive at the civilization they sought, reaching the bustling city of Damascus, a symbol of their resilience and love.
