Synopsis:

 

Marjorie Taub is the wife of a philanthropic allergist who is engulfed in a life crisis of Medea-like proportions. She tries to lose herself in a world of art galleries, foreign films and avant-garde theatre but is barely able to rouse herself from her sofa. Her spirits soar when a fascinating friend out of her childhood appears. Lee, the savior who arouses Marjorie from her stupor, becomes an unwelcome and sinister guest in short order. How to get rid of her?
