Professor Nick Smith is a conventional hard-working academic who has suddenly reached a crisis in his life. Having sacrificed the previous decade for his career, he falls in love with a German colleague whom he meets at a conference, but, because she refuses a physical relationship with him, he then seduces one of his own students. This relationship starts well with the student until she finds out about his other infatuation. Their lives then fall apart, with reality blurring with fantasy in unexpected ways. This story is a powerful account of both our need for love throughout our lives, but also of its destructive power as it cuts through the flimsy protective film of our everyday lives.
