Afterglow is a 1997 American comedy-drama film directed and written by Alan Rudolph and starring Nick Nolte, Julie Christie, Lara Flynn Boyle and Jonny Lee Miller.

The marriage between Lucky Mann, a contractor and his beautiful British wife, former actress Phyllis Hart, has been in a poor state for years.

Their relationship fell apart when Phyllis revealed to Lucky that their daughter Cassie was not his biological child.

Phyllis is depressed after learning that her daughter's father, actor Jack Dana, recently died.

Phyllis knows Lucky cheats on her with his construction clients, and therefore they have a silent agreement that they will not have sex.

She decides to start preparing a room for a baby in their condo anyway and hires a contractor, who happens to be Lucky Mann, referred to her by her friend Isabel's mother Gloria.

Once they are at the resort, they meet up with Jeffrey's big cheese client, Bernard Ornay and his mistress Monica Bloom.

The two couples end up in the same hotel bar, and Jeffrey and Lucky have a physical fight.

The final scene shows Phyllis in bed crying, knowing that Marianne will have Lucky's baby, and emotional over Cassie coming home.
