Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this drama, an industrialist's wife finds herself bored by her opulent existence. One day, while she waits for her son to finish his music lesson, she hears a woman scream at a nearby bistro. She then sees a man being hauled away from a woman's body. Her curiosity piqued, she becomes a regular at the cafe. There she meets one of her husband's workers. Over drinks, they talk about the murder. As they converse, the worker realizes that the woman herself wants to die, and he abandons her.
