The narrative is structured through several vignettes that highlight the scandalous nature of high-stakes divorces. In one case, a woman discovers her husband has been secretly filming their private encounters to sell them abroad, while another plot involves three wives of a sheik seeking asylum. The firm’s professional environment is further complicated when Grimes' long-lost daughter, Victoria, arrives and begins seducing both employees and clients. Meanwhile, the firm's top attorney, Rachel Horn, faces a personal crisis when she discovers that a client involved in a complex property dispute is actually her own twin sister. The film blends elements of erotic drama and comedy, focusing on the intersection of legal ethics, betrayal, and obsession.
Zusammenfassung
Directed and written by Michael Paul Girard, the 1993 film Divorce Law (also known as Illegal Affairs) is an erotic anthology drama that explores the scandalous intersections of legal ethics and personal desire. Set within a high-stakes divorce law firm owned by Philip Grimes (John Henry Richardson), the narrative weaves together several vignettes involving bizarre and sexually charged cases. These stories include a rock singer blackmailed by her husband with a sex tape, a woman seeking damages after her husband secretly recorded their encounters to sell abroad, and three wives of a sheik seeking political asylum. Professional boundaries further dissolve when Grimes discovers a long-lost daughter, Victoria, who begins a series of seductions within the firm, and lead attorney Rachel Horn (Monique Parent) discovers her own twin sister is a client in a complex lesbian property dispute. Rated R for its strong sexuality and dialogue, the film serves as a stylized exploration of misconduct and personal agendas within the legal community.
