The Morel family, living in a coal mining community in England, struggles with emotional manipulation and strained relationships. Walter and Gertrude's marriage is distant, with each parent influencing their adult sons differently. Eldest son William has escaped to London, while Arthur, like his father, works in the mines, and Paul, who's artistic, has a lower-paying office job. Paul's relationships with Miriam, a childhood friend, and Clara, a colleague, are shaped by Gertrude's influence, as he struggles to separate love, sex, and marriage.
