As the plot develops, we learn that Marty and Jackie spent much of their formative years engaging in incestuous sex. While Jackie believes incest to be a beautiful, loving and completely natural act, Leslie does not share her view. Marty is torn between the taboo pleasure of being with his sister and the comforts of social normalcy. This is the source of great conflict between the characters, since Jackie wants to resume her romance with Marty, and bear his children. The climax of the film culminates in a passionate love scene between Jackie and Marty, which Leslie happens to witness. Leslie, in turn, seduces Marty's naive brother, Anthony.
