A woman around her thirties begins to question the routine and predictability of her days. In everybody’s eyes, she has a perfect life: a solid and stable marriage to a rich and loving husband, sweet and well-behaved children and a job as a journalist she can't complain about. However, she can no longer bear the necessary effort to fake happiness when all she feels in life is an enormous apathy, boredom and depression. All that changes when she encounters an ex-boyfriend from her adolescence. Jacob is now a successful politician and, during an interview, he ends up arousing something in her she hadn’t felt for a long time: passion. They begin an affair which leads to brutal, S/M sex that she finds very exciting. She will now do anything to conquer that impossible love, and will have to go down to the pit of human emotions to finally find her redemption.
So much about the plot.
This self absorbed woman who has everything has gone bored and depressed of all the goodness, and has to have her cheap kicks in the form of blow jobs anal sex which she didn't enjoy. Or did she?
A love story ? Nope. I don't believe so. All is her imagination and worst, hallucination. No concern for anyone but herself and a willingness to destroy another woman's life in such a 'stupid' way to get what she wanted but didn't need to do so eventually as she got whatever it was she was after. Of course, the husband found out the affair.
Actually I secretly wished she would get caught with the Cocaine on hand, learnt her stupidness in jail and made her redemption.
It is not a story about love.
Want to find love? Learn how to love? Feel loved? You don't seek an affair with someone whose only purpose in life is to screw women around wherever he goes! The end feels SOOOO unconvincing.
