Superb.
A surgeon entering late middle age finds out he's impotent and conclusively absolutely will never be able to get it up again. Naturally this thoroughly shakes him and makes him question the basis of his love for his younger wife. She professes his love for him still and he questions her if she's had or is having or plans to have an affair, to which she answers in the negative. but the next day he answers the phone to a strange man asking for his wife, a man who won't leave a message but will call back later. The man becomes suspicious and begins investigating his wife and discovers she has been carrying on an affair. But as she fears her husband may discover it she breaks it off. He wonders what he has left to live for.
Wonderful story and script, superb cinematography and great acting.
