Communication
The Bush Pilot
An attractive, young city woman accepts a job as bush pilot at a mission station in the Brazilian jungle in search of a new challenge. The local staff immediately take her into their hearts, except for the good-looking station doctor in whose eyes she is a thorn. Despite being incredibly attracted to her, he tries everything to get rid of her. They crash in the jungle on a joint flight and fight for their lives while, at the same time, they are considered dead. Will the two manage to stave off death, which appears to be almost certain?
