The wife of a couple who have lost a child comforts her husband with an amazing act of tenderness. A man who's been shifting from place to place, always finding the same kind of people - sometimes the same people in various configurations - tries to locate himself in the universe. An intricate dance of adultery brings down a marriage.\n\nA housekeeper experiences a startling epiphany while looking into her freezer one hot summer night. The long, humorous roll of a couple's \"four-night fight\" finally explodes into happiness."}, "latest_revision": 14, "revision": 14, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2008-04-01T03:28:50.625462"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2024-07-13T15:33:53.388605"}}
