What The Forbidden Desire is about
Thirty‑two‑year‑old Alice has a middle‑class marriage that others envy. Her husband Richard is a senior bank executive who provides abundant material comforts, yet their marriage is frigid. Plagued by Richard’s physical issues, their relationship is little more than a hollow formality, leaving Alice trapped inside a gilded cage.
