Twenty-two year old Elise (Britt Ekland) has just gotten married to Paul (Hardy Kruger), a man almost twenty years her senior, and has moved in to his country house out in the rural landscape of Northern Spain. Waiting for him to join her, she thinks she is alone in the place as she refreshes herself with a bottle of pop, but out of the corner of her eye she suddenly notices she is being watched. This is Paul's twelve year old son Marcus (Mark Lester), who claims to have been allowed home a week early from boarding school in England thanks to a chickenpox outbreak - but that's not true...
Elise soon notices that with child is something wrong. Gloomy and unsociable, he eventually begins to frighten her. Her fear is amplified when she learns about the mysterious circumstances of the death of the former wife of Paul.
