Synopsis
Tired of playing the little wife to a self-concerned "artist", Annabelle has separated from Don and wants to prove herself as an individual. They meet at their former London house - and quarrel again, predictably. Horrifyingly, they discover, too, that the basement seems to have been occupied by a couple of squatters. As they talk, however, it becomes once again the room they lived in and loved in once - when they were squatters of a sort themselves, before they became so respectable - and they re-enact a scene that was indicative of their flawed relationship, if they had been able to recognize it at the time.
