However, she feels stifled by the expectations placed upon her by society and longs for a more fulfilling life. When she meets a young artist named Gerald, she is immediately drawn to him and they begin a passionate affair. As Eileen becomes more involved with Gerald, she begins to question her own values and beliefs.
