The film follows Romy Mathis (Nicole Kidman), a successful CEO of a robotic process automation company in New York City, who is facing dissatisfaction in her personal life.
Struggling with a lackluster s*x life with her husband, Jacob (Antonio Banderas), a theater director, Romy’s world is turned upside down when she meets Samuel (Harris Dickinson), a young and ambitious intern at her company.
Samuel propositions Romy during a private meeting, and despite initial resistance, she gives in to her desire, initiating an affair that soon spirals out of control.
As the relationship intensifies, Romy struggles with guilt and confusion, torn between her career, her family, and her desires. Samuel begins to challenge the power dynamics in their relationship, asserting that he holds power over her, and pushing her further into emotional and s*xual conflict.
The affair escalates, leading to confrontations with her family, her assistant, and eventually, her husband. Romy’s emotional journey reaches a breaking point as she faces the consequences of her actions, including the potential loss of everything she holds dear.
In the end, Romy and Jacob attempt to rebuild their marriage, but Romy’s relationship with Samuel continues to haunt her, forcing her to confront the complexities of her own s*xual identity and emotional needs.
