A Dream of Joans

In the eyes of outsiders, the Russell family is a perfect model family, with a wealthy family, harmonious husband and wife, outstanding children, and almost no shortcomings. However, as the matriarch, Sylvia Russell (Sonia Russell) Dresdel) is actually a ruthless, power-hungry, and controlling woman who tries every means to manipulate her husband Arthur (Walter Fitzgerald), son Terry (Emrys Jones), and daughter Fenella (Barbara White). Because she was dissatisfied with her husband's mediocrity and incompetence, she used all kinds of means to humiliate her husband without leaving a trace, and destroyed all his beloved things. Dissatisfied with her daughter's marriage to Dr. Valentine Christie (Scott Forbes) without her permission, she encouraged her young maid Effie (Celia Lipton) to seduce her son-in-law in order to destroy her daughter's marriage. Terry was the only one in the family who noticed something strange about his mother. Although he wanted to protect his sister and father, he did not expect that his mother was far more vicious than he imagined.
