The Two Mrs. Carrolls

In the mist‑laden hills of a Scottish countryside, a struggling painter finds a fleeting sanctuary from his creative frustrations. Geoffrey Carroll meets the bright‑eyed Sally Morton during a quiet holiday, and their spontaneous connection quickly deepens into something that feels both exhilarating and forbidden. As the two linger in the charm of the remote landscape, the promise of love glimmers against the backdrop of Geoffrey’s lingering doubts and the secrets he carries from a life left behind.

Returning to the bustling streets of London, Geoffrey settles back into a household that includes a devoted wife and a young daughter, his days now split between domestic routine and an increasingly consuming artistic vision. The studio becomes a crucible where his talent and his unease intersect, and a particular portrait—one that casts his spouse in the haunting guise of an Angel of Death—begins to dominate his thoughts. The work feels both a masterpiece and a mirror of his inner turmoil, suggesting that the line between inspiration and obsession is dangerously thin.

When Geoffrey eventually unites his life with Sally in marriage, the couple steps into a new chapter that promises renewal yet is shadowed by the echo of his earlier artistic fixation. As he attempts to capture Sally’s likeness, an unsettling compulsion surfaces, hinting that the same dark muse that once haunted him may yet reassert its grip. The film’s tone balances brooding atmosphere with the delicate tension of a romance built on fragile foundations, inviting the audience to wonder how far an artist’s yearning for perfection can push the boundaries of love, sanity, and fate.
