Plot edit
This black and white film brings up the topic of sex and passion at an older age. The couple portrayed has a love/hate relationship, an ambivalence that is reflected in their sexual relation where the man adopts an abusive stance towards the woman. A third character, the maid, fuels a triptic dynamic in this natural perversion.[2]
