An Afternoon Walk..... Ella makes up a story about the house for her daughter, Kitty, as they pick flowers, but the peaceful scene is shattered by a scream, and the immediate appearance of an owl, which explains the scream...or does it? At home, enter the husband, seemingly devoted to his family, but single-minded in his ambition to rise in his job, and unable to share his wife's grief at the loss of her baby, or to understand her nature. A phone call sets in motion a campaign of vague threats, surveillance and, finally, terror towards the fragile Ella. All amidst her husband's determination to prove her scatty, unreliable, and prone to memory loss. Even her cleaning lady seems to believe she is fanciful and absent-minded, while her the next-door neighbor provides some support and belief in her sanity. The heat-wave that's been consuming the area continues adds to the oppressive atmosphere, until the terror escalates and comes to a climax when Kitty goes missing.....
