Watching the Dark

A film about cinema presented as a psychological domestic drama. A married couple, Martin and Sara, control each other through voyeuristic means while subjecting themselves to the same influence. Sara's sister, Karen, is perpetually trapped as an unwilling spectator.

Their marriage begins to disintegrate when Karen's struggle disrupts the way Martin views Sara.
