Movie review: Private Tropical 29 "Studs and Coconuts" (2006) (Boroka Calls, Katy Paro, Sonia Bed)

 

Mystery music with a succession of orange sunsets, silhouettes of palm trees and African coastal landscapes make up the first scenes of this 2006 film. Next, a beautiful Thai woman in the foreground talks on her mobile phone. He arranges an airport pick-up and wishes his interlocutor a happy flight.

Now Thomas enters the scene, an entrepreneur with Latin features that contrasts with the tanned Asian. Thomas asks about the call right after he hangs up. The Thai informs her that some young women are coming to spend three days on the island and that they are looking for company. Thomas, happy about the arrival of new clients, rubs his hands thinking about the money. Thomas is the CEO of Thomas pleasure journeys, a company tour company with two branches in South East Africa.

The hippest office in the world

Its main office is located in a bungalow in the Hotel Les Bangas de Mayotte. On the other hand, the Nosy Be division runs it from its beautiful frontline villa in Andilana Beach. This business is bringing him huge profits and he is already thinking about future expansions to the island of Reunion and the French West Indies.

Afterwards, Eric approaches the couple with the intention of taking the weekend off, but Thomas informs him that he will have to be on call for the next few days. The CEO has no heart, and "has so few things that he only has money."

Eric needs the job, and even though his Teutonic girlfriend flew to Mayotte today to spend time with him, he's only going to be able to offer her a few hours of company. The life of the gigolo is very cramped, and in Thomas pleasure journeys they shit on the Workers' Statute, without respecting the relevant breaks and without the necessary notice. Eric protests, and Thomas's only response is, again, "I need you tomorrow and the day after," although he could also have used a Latinism to emphasize the situation, such as "sine die," which is very in the style of these airport book CEO and turtleneck sweater.

The German has already arrived in Les Bangas to spend a week's vacation, and there, at the door of the bungalow, she receives the news that Eric will not be available for the next two or three days. Her boyfriend urges her to take the boat trip around Mayotte since it is her first time on the island. The German is happy again (she settles for little) and invites him to make love on that same wooden walkway. The love conquers all.

Sadness and jet-lag

Kiss, kiss my love

We now move to Europe, where two friends discuss whether or not to go on a trip (although it is a house decorated in the kente style and we assume that the scene is already filmed on the African continent). On the sidelines of the props, one of them, Peter, very persuasively, warns the other that it is the last chance they have to do it, because their girlfriends are away and because next week they will marry them, on their return.
Peter is so convinced that he's going to persuade Mike that he's already booked two tickets to Zanzibar (although it's actually to the Madagascar island of Nosy Be).

The typical troublemaker friend

He is pulling the wool over and he knows it...

Mike is blunt, and ends the offer claiming to love his girlfriend, because he senses what his friend is going to prepare for him during the bachelor party trip. Seconds later, for no apparent reason, Mike, who is more manipulable than a kindergartener, changes his mind. Everything is ready for the trip to paradise.

Mike gets on the boat after several sentences worthy of a flea market salesman

We return to the island of Mayotte, to the hotel Les Bangas, where three blondes from a boat are already reunited with the Thai woman. "The flight has been long", complains one of them, "the island is beautiful" clarifies the other. The weather is not good on this first day, because there is some drizzle, but soon her husband Thomas will show them around the island.

Petra reminds him of what they have traveled for: next week they are getting married and they want to take advantage of being single as much as possible. At this point in the film, the average viewer has already connected the dots and given the coincidence in time, the tourists, both Mike and Peter, as well as Petra and at least one of the two platinum blondes, seem to be engaged to each other.

That same night, in a bedroom with a mosquito net worthy of the Portuguese colonial era, two of the Europeans comment on how beautiful the region is and how friendly the entrepreneurial couple are. They also talk about what they have in mind about the additional services offered by Thomas pleasure journeys: there is something for every type of client.

Nearby, 330 kilometers as the crow flies, off the coast of Nosy Be, Mike and Peter gently anchor aboard a yacht with Claudia. After enjoying each other on the deck of the yacht for a while, Mike suffers an unstoppable guilt attack and decides to go to the cabin to call his girlfriend... Not everyone knows how to handle remorse. This will be repeated more times throughout the film, but Petra's phone always seems to be off. No one suspects, but everyone knows.

Its harder to contact with the girlfriend than with the hospital

Eric has had a date with the blonde whose future spouse we do not know, and now he has traveled with Thomas to Andilana Beach, to organize the Europeans' agenda. Thomas asks Eric about how his girlfriend has taken the extraordinary guard duty he has ordered her to do in the face of the rush of work. He tells him that his girl is taking the opportunity to go sightseeing in the area and doesn't seem very concerned about his overwork. Thomas informs him at that very moment that the guards are not in vain and that now they are going to go to a nearby beach where Peter's fiancee will approach, to hire a three-way service.

At sunset, back in the shelter of the hotel room, the two nameless blondes discuss the move. Then the mobile phone rings and it is none other than Peter, the persuasive bald man, who we finally confirm is the fiancé of the skinniest of them all. During the call, her friend takes the opportunity to make all possible jokes and obscene gestures, trying to make the other burst into laughter.

In this unforgettable scene, the biscuit firm Poult (no longer exists because it merged with Banketgroep in 2016 to found Biscuit International) made a passive product placement of its delicious strawberry tartlettes. Let's remember that advertising by placement is a marketing technique that is based on the insertion of a product in a movie. This formula became popular in the 1990s, and production companies are increasingly turning to it for financing.

At Andilana Beach, Peter and Mike have breakfast. Mike keeps trying, unsuccessfully, to call Petra. Peter, seeing that his friend is a little worried, calls the third blonde to ask her if something is going on with Petra. She retorts that she's nobody's babysitter, but ends up leaking that Petra is meeting someone. It is noteworthy that in 2006, without roaming or anything like that, all these young people spend the day on the phone making expensive international conferences to chat about banalities.

No one answer the phone (volume three)

A good friend for the bad moments

Andilana Beach nowadays

A bad moment to talk by phone

Petra is with Marco, an employee of Thomas pleasure journey, on the beach, and it seems that she is slowly falling in love with the young man. The gigolo doesn't seem very enthusiastic about such a change of course, and for the moment he keeps a noisy silence. Her friends, in the nightly Sanhedrin every evening, also comment on this sudden infatuation with Petra, and they think it's a big mistake. They have traveled to seek pleasure, not a new love, and, on the other hand, they agree that the next day is a good time to go shopping.

An impossible love

After pleasure, is a good moment to buy some souvenirs for husbands 

Nonverbal language

The next day, Petra asks Marco to take her to the airport, but he has an urgent task to do in the port city of Mamoudzou first. While Petra waits in Les Bangas, her two blonde friends go shopping in the city.

So many nonsense for love...

Marco arrives at the port of Mamoudzou and they are going to provide special services to a client of Thomas. The business is going from strength to strength and soon they will be listed on the stock market.

I came for an urgent order...

Thomas pleasure journeys is a blue chip

Hours later, Petra is still waiting for Marco, almost turned into a pillar of salt. The skinny blonde reminds her that these gigolos go where they go, to which the teasing blonde adds: "like us..." Few appendices to a conversation have been so wise. An applause deserves the screenwriter, and also this secondary actress, who carries assertiveness as a flag.

If we had known, we would have bought you a zucchini

The final scene shows us Peter, who is going for a walk on Andilana beach with a young woman with Indian features, meeting a euphoric Mike because Petra has finally turned on her phone. The spite for Marco is important and has materialized in a call from Petra to her fiancé to swear eternal love. She has opted for an older strategy than pissing on the wall, which is... when you see that the new candidate disappoints you, there is always the option of returning to the arms of the old one...

Peter enjoys a cosmopolitan world

Oblivious to the truth, everyone is happier, 

Or not so oblivius

Before the final credits, Peter reflects on everyone's infidelities... and the fact is that the title of the film may be mistranslated in the Spanish version as "Students and coconut trees", as in so many other cases...
It is possible that with "studs" he refers to another meaning of the English word "stud", which also means womanizer. Perhaps in that case, the best thing would have been not to have asked for her hand with the aforementioned... 

THE END
