(DVD, MGM)
Linda Griffiths is an unhappy wife and mother of two. Her husband is a self-absorbed film professor and the two have little in common. After she discovers he is having an affair, she starts one of her own with a woman, the teacher of her night class. She falls in love without thinking through the consequences. Soon she is living in a run down apartment and working as a cashier at the supermarket. She becomes a stranger to her own kids and deals with the stares of neighbors and former friends who don't approve of her new lifestyle. It turns out her lover has some issues of her own and the relationship deteriorates. A rather depressing look at relationships of all kinds, but it is well-written and feels real.
