A Maori warrior comes upon the aftermath of a battle to find that the only survivor is a wounded enemy soldier. His wishes to avenge his fallen countrymen by finishing off this helpless enemy but the gods won't allow it (as conveyed to him through a spirit bird). Anguished that he must instead treat the soldier's wounds, he's further repelled by the soldier's incessant homosexual advances. Slowly and surprisingly, a change comes over the warrior to accept the soldier's advances, but the war all too soon intrudes upon them.

In the midst of a volatile and bickering marriage in "Swinging London," wealthy architect Robert Blakeley (Michael Caine) begins a passionate affair with Stella (Susannah York), a gentle and refined boutique owner. His wife, the flamboyant and acerbic Zee (Elizabeth Taylor), refuses to go quietly. Driven by a mix of jealousy and a refusal to lose her "possession," Zee launches a psychological war to sabotage the romance. The conflict eventually spirals into a provocative and cynical power struggle that culminates in an unexpected sexual confrontation, blurring the lines of the original love triangle.
