—Recently widowed, Alice arrives at her country home to rest and reflect on her relationship with her late husband, a misogynist psychiatrist, who cared little for his wife’s needs.

That’s why she dedicates a special affection to Jumbo, a pet horse, and gives also herself to Marta, a young college student who, like Alice, went to the country looking for a quiet place to reflect on her life.
