As the strain of competing needs takes its toll, their marriage begins to unravel. Despite Maria's desperate efforts to salvage their relationship, Sigmund eventually informs her of his desire for a divorce, forcing her to confront her deepest fears.

When she meets her husband for a conversation, the pain of abandonment is no longer the same.
