After some years of tension, Richard (Clive Owen) begins a sexual relationship with his sister Natalie (Saskia Reeves). Now married, the relationship proves dangerously obsessional. Their private intensity (& working class origins) contrast with the middle-class, inhibited, stuffy public scenes we see in the Richmond world into which Natalie has moved with her marriage. As the guilt and intensity of the siblings increases we seem to be heading for disaster, a forboding which increases when Natalie's husband Sinclair finds out. 　　译文(2): 经过几年的紧张，理查德(克莱夫欧文)开始与他的妹妹娜塔莉(萨斯基亚里夫斯)的性关系。现在已婚，这种关系被证明是危险的强迫症。他们的个人强度(和工人阶级出身)与我们在里士满看到的中产阶级、拘谨、沉闷的公共场合形成了鲜明对比，娜塔莉的婚姻就是在这个世界里发生的。随着兄弟姐妹的内疚感和紧张感的增加，我们似乎正在走向灾难，当娜塔莉的丈夫辛克莱尔发现这一点时，这种不祥的预感也随之增加。
