On the verge of committing suicide, Cecile, a middle-aged woman,
suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, contemplates her life in
Townsville, and with that of her husband, Alain - whom in hindsight
she believes to have made a mistake in marrying. Cecile believes
her marriage to be flawed because Alain is unsupportive of her
artistic ambitions and her dreams of travelling. Compounding their
mutual incompatibility is Alain's authoritarian mother, Eleanor,
who stays with them in order to care for Cecile; but in reality,
she undermines her son's marriage with her overpowering religious
beliefs. Drawn into this marital melee is Julie, an old friend of
Cecile's but the secret lover of Alain: the duo insidiously plan to
profit from Cecile's death. In 'The Voices of Discontent', Clarke
examines the effects of religion, disease, artistic ambition and
adultery in an already unstable marriage, discovering that true
love overcomes all of these obstacles.
