George (Donald Pleasence) and Teresa (Francoise Dorleac) marriage is based on a struggle for sexual dominance. Teresa emasculates her husband, physically and psychologically to the point of complete humiliation. George, for his part does try to fulfill the role of dominant male, but ultimately his efforts are merely destructive and leave him more isolate than ever. (official distributor synopsis)
