- Synopsis:
Imagine your husband died suddenly and you found out he'd been having an affair. Would you want to know more? Could you bear to know more? When Kate Morris's (Liv Ullmann) husband Richard dies away from home, she soon realises that he's been having an affair with his young assistant Josie (Amanda Redmond). Now she must reconsider their whole life together. Did he really love her? Driven by an overwhelming desire to find out more about the affair, Kate confronts Josie - and soon finds that her feelings about Josie are a lot more complicated than simple hate. A lot more complicated. Intelligent, passionate and controversial (at the time) for its frank depiction of a lesbian relationship, Frederic Raphaels screen adaptation of his own novel for Southern Television is an unforgettable story with an unexpected and heartbreaking secret to reveal... - Actors:
