Beschreibung

A chance encounter reignites a romance between George Darrow and his former love, but a brief, impulsive affair with a young woman casts a long shadow over their reunion. When the three characters unexpectedly converge at a French chateau, secrets unravel with devastating precision. The narrative dissects the complexities of jealousy, double standards, and the impossibility of escaping the past. It is a taut psychological drama where every look and silence carries the weight of betrayal.

    Isaac Watts was a poet, hymn-writer and musician. He wrote many of what we regard as "classical hymns" such as "Joy to the World" and "When I survey the wondrous cross". His translations of the Psalms are therefore poetical and musical, as they were designed to be sung. He captures in elegant English the feel of the original Psalms as they would have been heard by the Israelites thousands of years ago. - Summary by Beth Thomas

    A spring day in a gentrifying neighbourhood begins unremarkably enough; by evening someone has died. 
    Nat, a middle-aged queer mother of two, feigns normalcy as she worries about her taciturn, loner son locked in his room. Her friend Maddy, a failed actress and fellow parent, frets over her missed opportunities and considers leaving her marriage. Next door, Ilya, a young construction worker, struggles to renovate a fixer-upper, but a buried stream threatens to flood the basement. An old woman eyes the street through the gap in her curtains. A lonely man wanders.  
    As the troubled residents stumble through their errands, navigating the thorniness of class and privilege, of queer respectability and friendship in an overstretched city, each seemingly inconsequential exchange tightens in around the neighbourhood, until finally tragedy strikes, leaving it forever changed.
