Gretta

It is to the abyss of feelings, where passions are born, that Erskine Caldwell, master of modern literature, looks for the motives behind human attitudes and impulses. He doesn't care what we may appear to be or what is reflected in our actions. If that were the case, who would Gretta be? A young girl with provocative lips, a seductive way of taking off her stockings, and a promise of tenderness that evokes in men the warmth of intimacy, the desire to stay by her side forever. But there is a drama that, beneath this appearance of gestures and invitations, is hidden; a dark story that terrifies her, that rises from the darkness and overwhelms her decisions, turning her into a slave of emotions. She has discernment and for that very reason, fears; Gretta knows that happiness lies with Glenn, who fell in love with her and married her, but she also knows that a desperate anxiety leads her to the fear of not being able to remain faithful to him. The fear of loneliness, the need to cling to the rapture of love, which led her to an ardently licentious life before marriage, motivates the conflicts of her soul. Gretta fights against the seduction she carries within her, resists its appeals, but then, standing in the living room of her apartment, an old lover once again demands her love.
