A young married couple, both architects, are up for a prestigious,
government sponsored award for a project they have designed jointly. On the
day when the winner of the competition is to be announced, each of them
leaves the house alone, determined to deal with the nerve-racking wait in
their own way. The husband, a habitual philanderer, sets out for a local
brothel, intent on pursuing the pleasures of the flesh; his wife, meanwhile,
has her own long-suppressed sexual liberation in mind. What follows is a
revealing exploration of the ways in which anticipation and its reward are
rarely synonymous.
