In Cambridge, the software engineer Peter (Liam Neeson) and the shoe designer Lisa are successful in their careers and have been happily married for twenty-five years. They have an adult daughter, Abigail, and Lisa frequently travels to Milano to do business with the Gianni & Gianni Company. When Lisa is gone, Peter finds a message in her cellular and decides to snoop her e-mails and discovers in a secret folder named Love that she had a lover, Ralph.

Richard Eyre has carefully constructed an intimate tale of a man who discovers his wife's infidelity.
Liam Neeson and Antonio Banderas provide subtle and mature performances, with Romola Garai outstanding as the daughter.
The film is beautifully shot on location in Milan and Lake Como as well as in London and Ely.
The plot twists are effective, leaving one to reflect on how little we can truly know of the people around us.
Nevertheless, the denouement feels a little forced, even if a logical conclusion to the narrative.
