The Comfort of StrangersThe Comfort of Strangers

Mary and Colin are an English couple on holiday abroad. Mary is divorced with two children; Colin is her angelically handsome lover who has been with her for seven years. Although they do not usually live together, their relationship is deep, passionate and intimate. One evening, the couple get lost amongst the canals and are befriended by a forceful native named Robert, who takes them to a bar. Later, he insists on bringing them to his house where they meet his wife Caroline. Although the guests are at first shown great hospitality, it becomes clear that the hosts have a peculiar relationship with each other - Robert is the product of a sadistic upbringing and Caroline, who is disabled, has an uncomfortable view of men as being masters to which women should yield. The liberal English couple withdraw from the house, but the events of the evening have set in chain a series of ever-increasingly disturbing events which neither foresaw.
