Every rating
A high-society woman, disillusioned by her comfortable but passionless marriage, makes the fateful decision to abandon her husband and young son for a dashing suitor. When this new relationship ends in betrayal and disaster, she is left utterly ruined. Years later, disguised and using a false name, she returns in a humble role, yearning only to be near her now-unknowing family and witness the son she can never reclaim.
