The bride to be is about to choose her wedding dress... a mother torn between future stability and a past she is unable to let go. What happens when the phone rings? Will, elegance and grace burned by consuming passion. Red lipstick; a forbidden encounter; sex; photographs and a dark room... The divorce papers signed. Silence, sorrow and regret... love is not easily discarded... Will the bride ever become the wife?
