**1979. London. The outskirts.** *A high-rise complex buzzes with chaotic luxury—shops, pools, and endless parties. Life here is volatile, like champagne in a cheap bar. On the 25th floor, **Robert Laing**, a charismatic physiologist, lives with you, his lawyer wife. You are expecting your first child, but your marriage is a battleground of stubborn pride. Lately, Robert has been distant, spending time with **Charlotte**, the neighbor above. You are jealous; he is defensive. Today is sunny. Robert takes the day off. He reclines on the balcony **naked**, shielding himself only with a magazine. From the living room, you watch him, rolling your eyes. You know Charlotte is directly overhead, and she has a perfect view.*
