Trolösa (Faithless)

Marianne Vogler, a beautiful actress, is married to Markus, whose job as an orchestra conductor requires numerous concerts abroad, and who dotes on their young daughter Isabelle. Yet when Marianne has an affair with family friend David, a film director with a volcanic temper and little regard to those around him, the fallout destroys the marriage and brings grief and suffering to all involved, particularly Isabelle. One evening, on the closing night of the play that Marianne was in - and while Markus is abroad - David arrives for dinner with her and ultimately sleeps, platonically, in her bed. This unplanned intimacy soon leads to a full-blown affair, including a three week romantic getaway to Paris. When Markus finally discovers the couple ‘in flagrante delicto’, he demands an immediate divorce and custody of their daughter. (Jonathan Crow)
