A schoolmaster of 20 years is required to leave his job on health grounds, and finds little solace at home in the presence of his openly unfaithful wife. However, the compassion of a student breaks through his stoic veneer, prompting an unplanned and emotional outburst. Drama based on the play by Terence Rattigan, starring Albert Finney, Matthew Modine, Ben Silverstone, Greta Scacchi and Julian Sands
