A cinematic, 1960’s styled series that tells the story of this beautiful, seemingly perfect couple who are living a lie because the husband is in love with another man. This was a time when `normality' was the condition most honored and prized in society, and to be just like everyone else was not merely the greatest goal to which one could aspire, but it came to define the very value one had as a human being. The characters lead a life of quiet desperation, trapped in their stifling setting, but fully aware of each other's pain.
