Once a partner of equal standing in her husband Oscar's esteemed life, Constance Wilde now finds herself relegated to its outskirts. Fatigued by her maternal responsibilities and sensing exclusion from Oscar's social circles, she becomes a mere spectacle in the shadow of his ego. When Oscar's unfaithfulness puts their delicate marriage at risk, Constance perceives a chance for self-discovery. Upon encountering Arthur Humphreys, a potential publisher for Oscar, Constance resolves to rediscover her identity, shedding societal norms. The film delves into a fervent and daring ménage à trois, portraying Constance's pursuit of self-realization as she breaks away from the overshadowing brilliance of Oscar, choosing to embrace life on her own terms.[1]
