The Brimstone Wedding - 1995

Unlike the other residents of Middleton Hall, Stella is smart and elegant and in control. She keeps her secrets to herself. Only Jenny, her young care assistant, seems aware that her heart harbors a dark, painful mystery. And only she can prevent Stella from carrying it to the grave. As the women talk, Jenny slowly pieces together the answers to many questions that arise. Why does Stella seem so afraid of driving? Why has she kept possession of a house that not even her children know about? As Jenny uses the house to meet her lover, she discovers untouched items - a painting, a burnt dress, a decaying car. But only when Stella leaves Jenny her tape recorder, into which she has recounted the true events of the past, can the truth be finally - and shockingly - revealed.
