Synopsis

Leonard and Anne drive along the lover’s road to Dover, intending to embark for Calais and go to Paris. The car breaks down and Sanders takes them to a nearby hotel, which turns out to be a residence with servants, owned by a Mr. Latimer. They are told that they cannot leave for seven days so that they can see if marriage between them will work. The next day, Anne begins to notice things about Leonard that she ignored before. Another couple in the house are about to leave after seven days-Leonard’s wife Eustasia and her lover Nicholas.
