action

Christopher Tietjens is a British country gentleman and brilliant statistician who can look back on a long line of aristocratic ancestors. In 1908 he met the beautiful Sylvia on the train and immediately became intimate with her. She immediately becomes pregnant. Although he does not know whether the child is his, he marries Sylvia against the wishes of his family.

But the marriage with Sylvia leads to a marriage that makes both dissatisfied. The wife is quickly bored of him and his virtues, which she despises and despairs of. Then she has fun at lavish parties. Finally, Sylvia betrays Christopher with an officer. When she is bored of her affairs too, she remorsefully returns to her husband. On an excursion in 1911, Christopher meets the suffragette Valentine Wannop, but for reasons of honor he cannot bring himself to betray his wife as well. A divorce is also out of the question for him, as he always puts a sense of duty and decency in the foreground.

At the beginning of the First World War , Christopher finds himself in a love triangle between his wife and Valentine, in the course of which he has to choose one of the two women.
