Output (English): In 1950, Hester Collyer, the younger wife of High Court judge Sir William Collyer, has embarked on a passionate affair with Freddie Page, a handsome young former RAF pilot troubled by his memories of the Second World War. Freddie throws Hesters life in turmoil, as their erotic relationship leaves her emotionally stranded and physically isolated.clarification needed For Freddie, that tumultuous mix of fear and excitement that was once in his life seems to be no longer present. The majority of the film takes place during one day in Hesters flat, a day on which she has decided to commit suicide. Her suicide attempt fails and as she recovers, the story of her affair and her married life is played out in a mosaic of short and sporadic flashbacks. We soon discover the constraints of Hesters comfortable marriage, which is affectionate but without sexual passion. As Hesters affair is discovered she leaves her life of comparative luxury and moves into a small dingy London flat with Freddie. Hesters new lover has awakened her sexuality, but the reckless, thrillseeking Freddie can never give her the love and stability that her husband gave her. Yet to return to a life without passion would be unbearable. The film takes its title from her dilemma of being caught between the Devil and the deep blue sea – two equally undesirable situations.
