succession: Michelle (Gwyneth Paltrow),
a mysterious and beautiful neighbor who is exotic and out-of-place in
Leonard’s staid world, and Sandra, the lovely and caring daughter of a
businessman who is buying out his family’s dry-cleaning business.Leonard becomes deeply infatuated by Michelle, who seems poised to fall
for him, but is having a self-destructive affair with a married man. At
the same time, mounting pressure from his family pushes him towards
committing to Sandra. Leonard is forced to make an impossible decision
– between the impetuousness of desire and the comfort of love – or risk
falling back into the darkness that nearly killed him.
