Gerald, a highly intelligent senior civil servant, and his wife, Monica, enjoy a 'civilised', delicately-balanced marriage.

When Gerald decides to seduce Julie, the two partnerships meet a crossroads. Starring Denholm Elliott as Gerald, Gwen Watford as Monica, Glenda Jackson as Julie and David Summer as Ben.
