Plot

Nick and Meg Burrows are a married academic couple from Moseley, Birmingham on holiday in Paris to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. Meg finds the lodging selected by Nick to be unsuitable and they book a room at much more expensive hotel. Their relationship vacillates, with conflict more often in evidence than affection. Among other things, Meg is frustrated by a phone call from their idle son which reveals Nick's repeated willingness to take him back into their home.
