Review

A young wife hears when her husband calls another woman name when he is in sleep and that causes jealously. His man does not seem to be very jealous type himself and she have some kind of affair going on with this another lady, or at least they have shared history on some ways. This another woman, Desiree, seems to be a mistress to another man who happens to be married man as well. This man is more jealous type and he does not fear to show his feelings when somebody is keen on Desiree.

This was nice and quite complex story in a way. There are not clear one main character but instead there are multiple. Characters have clear personalities and their actors can bring characters alive very well. This story what might be about love and jealously and some aspects about faith and virtues is worth the watch.
