Softly, Softly

Summary While walking in a garden of statues of women, Ester and her friend Adele see two women kissing. Ester then dreams of kissing Adele and later imagines making love to her while she is in her husband Oscar's arms. She confesses her passion to Adele and tells Oscar she loves another. His jealousy takes over: he assumes it's a man and begs Adele to help him discover his rival's identity. Eventually Ester tells him she loves a woman. This makes him even less reasonable: he jumps between bewilderment ("Am I a cuckold?") and violent anger. After he gets drunk and figures out that Adele is the object of Ester's unconsummated desire, he becomes dangerous. View more details
