Mary has been ejected from her affluent marriage and stripped of her role as mother. Home alone on New Year’s Eve in the elegant apartment to which she has been exiled, her mind whirs, the psychic rubble of her privileged life threatens to overwhelm her. Tomorrow she will meet with her husband to discuss the terms of their unfolding divorce and the custody of their son – a battle that he is destined to win. Freely adapted from Simone de Beauvoir's novella Monologue (1968).
