Not a modern version of "Tristan and Isolde" although the classic tragedy does pierce the fabric of the present-day narrative in subconscious flashes through the mind of the title character, who leaves a husband; is attracted to a young student; and falls in love with a mercenary soldier on leave and for hire, i.e. he is hired by the spurned husband, a politician, to kill none other than Isolde.
