Does hope always override common sense?
Close to 50, a woman brought up in the UK realises that, despite having all the choices in the world, she chose to invest her life in her husband. Unsurprisingly, he takes her for granted, and kills their marriage by having an affair with another woman whom he goes on to marry. His first wife goes on to forge her own path, after having had her illusions shattered not only by her husband's conduct but also by her sister revealing that their father had raped her.
