Plot should not include interpretations[edit]

The last line of the plot summary reads: "However Sonja is unable to return his desire, and the fate of their marriage is left inconclusive."

This is a subjective interpretation. Firstly, she does return his gaze in the end and the movie ends with them looking at each other's eyes. Her reasons for not returning his gaze immediately could be plentiful: she's never been so intimate with him before - the past few events have brought them closer together, the healing process just ended at this last dance, etc.

The last line, in my opinion should read something like this: "Sonja struggles to initially return Leon's gaze but does so just before the movie ends." No need for interpretations in this section, IMHO.

I believe the plot summary should be re-written. Although it does detail the majority of the movie, it is completely out of sync with the movie itself, and is incorrect in many places.
