Texan housewife Linda Henry is haunted by the vision of the son she was forced to give up when she was fifteen. Her husband, a peculiar doctor who is having an affair with a nurse, offers no comfort to the tormented woman. When a mysterious figure, Martin, appears and reminds her of her long-lost son, past and present, reality and fiction begin to merge... - "I suppose it's about how we become the persons others want us to be, although we stay the child we originally were. You can become a great brain surgeon or politician - but immediately the door shuts, out come the model aeroplanes" (Nicolas Roeg).
