1970s New Yor, young patents, Tina (Betina) and Jonathan are 'going through the motions'of life and contentment, but Tina's at her breaking point; Raised postwar, she's 'achieved' what she was told she should be/want, but she's lost, and on the verge of a breakdown She struggles with her role as mother/housekeeper/wife, and as Jonathan becomes more demanding and distant, she's constantly reminded of her 'duties' as wife and mother. Tina starts an affair with writer,George Prager, whose ego is as massive as Tina's anxiety. She realises she's found the exact same type of man in George as her husband. In the turbulent sexual revolution of three period, Tina's a soldier looking how to be herself.
