What happens

Paradise is a 1982 Canadian adventure-romance film written and directed by Stuart Gillard (in his directorial debut). It stars Phoebe Cates, Willie Aames, and Tuvia Tavi. The original music score was composed by Paul Hoffert. "Theme from Paradise" was written and produced by Joel Diamond and L. Russell Brown and sung by Cates. The film was critiqued at the time as a "knockoff" of the more famous The Blue Lagoon, as it shared a similar story to the 1980 film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
