One evening, middle-aged schoolteacher Jean Travers, who has never married, invites her friends for a dinner party and ends up with befriending with a mysterious young man. The next morning, the young man returns to see her and suddenly kills himself while waiting for tea. From that moment, Jean's life begins to turn up-side-down while her past is gradually revealed.
A haunting film, because it dares to suggest that the death of the stranger is important to everyone it touches - because it forces them to decide how alive they really are.
A gripping psychodrama that touches on themes of loss, middle age blues, and the dangers of repressing primal emotions such as love, violence, and desire.
The skill of Hare's approach is that he initially allows us to assume, via normal cinema techniques, that what we saw of the dinner party was the whole story.
