A Married Woman

Lying naked with her handsome actor lover Robert, bored Parisian wife Charlotte finds herself torn between her consumer desires and the urgent demands of her family. On the other hand, Pierre, Charlotte's grizzled pilot husband, knows she doesn't love him. However, he can't afford to lose her. But both men desire exclusivity and permanence. And as a series of distinct chapters unfold--intersecting the past with the present, the intellect with compromise, childhood with age--conflicted, Charlotte tries to weigh her options. Does Robert act when she is with him? What is Pierre prepared to do for Charlotte? Sooner or later, the modern bourgeoisie lady will have to pick sides. How far is Charlotte willing to go in the name of love?
