A naive housewife's story. From boring and bored to something totally unexpected. Seems like that "modeling" job was exactly what she needed. After that everyone started to notice the change in her, even her up to then reserved husband. Interesting how her husband was a romance novelist, but the stuff he wrote in his books, he never did any of it with his wife. It's no wonder she became promiscuous.
It was good for her while it lasted, but that sort of behavior always has consequences, because sooner or later something bad is bound to happen. Looks like she wasn't the only with with a dark side. It's interesting how seemingly successful and fulfilled women in this movie go skulking around at night looking to satisfy their darker needs which would not be approved by their daytime society.
Things went from happy and satisfied to just not enough and guilt which she overcame rather quickly with the help of a unique reasoning from her fried. She kept on sinking deeper and deeper and it seemed nothing could stop her. The irony was that her seemingly pure husband was always just like what she became recently... The truth came out with a cost for them all.
This was a seriously disturbing movie that explored the dark side of humanity and what it can do to people who are lost in their own lives. These characters felt the lack of purpose and wanted to do something to feel alive, but the road they took and choices they made lead them straight to the bottom of humanity.
