She stays with Miller for three nights. Together they piece together the fragments of his memory, but they are horrified at what they uncover.

“A reclusive man gets a visitor who turns out to be the daughter of a woman from his past. The woman was the wife of the man he worked for and after trying to seduce her she gave in quickly and they had an affair. The film is mostly flashbacks of the affair, the memories being triggered by the visits of the daughter who resembles her mother. Just as I was beginning to think it was an OKu0026#39;ish film but slightly slow and boring, it takes a twist at the end which I didnu0026#39;t see coming. However that last 15 minutes didnu0026#39;t make up for the previous 80 which were unexciting. Overall itu0026#39;s an OK film for a rainy day but donu0026#39;t expect anything earth shattering. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe direction isnu0026#39;t bad at all and overall itu0026#39;s a slick production apart from the parts where the photographer clearly hand-held and wasnu0026#39;t very steady at it.”
