Plot or ending details follow.
The story centers on a married Oxford professor, Stephen, who is experiencing a
mid-life crisis. The world changes for him when he meets Anna, a beautiful young woman who is engaged to one of his students. The young woman is forced to stay with the professor and his wife following an accident outside of their home in which the student to whom she is engaged was killed. While the Oxford professor believes that he is in control of the events that will eventually lead to the destruction of his marriage, we soon discover that Anna isn't so innocent. The crowning metaphor of the film comes at the end when we see an unhurt Anna (in a flashback) crushing her dying fiancée beneath her spike-heeled foot as she steps on his face while trying desperately to climb out of the overturned car.
