The actress Evgeniya Gromova is very good in the complex role of Lena in "Vernost." Lena and her husband Sergei have had some turbulence in their marriage. He is an actor focused on his play, and he is not very communicative with his wife. She then betrays him, and the situation turns into a disaster.
Lena is good at her job as an obstetrician. At one point in the film, she miraculously turns a baby around while still in the womb. She was referred to as a midwife in the best sense of that word. As perceptive as she is with human anatomy, she is not equally skilled in human psychology. She completely misreads her husband's professional relationship with a fellow actor, and she mistakenly concludes that he is a cheater. That mindset leads Lena to become a cheater herself.
Unfortunately for Lena, she has some bad luck with one of her lovers. He turns out to be the husband of one of her pregnant patients. The wife learns about the tryst, and Lena's career is in tatters.
The ebb-and-flow in the relationship of Lena and Sergey was not always persuasive. There never seemed to be any genuine forgiveness on the part of Sergei, and Lena herself did not seem overly contrite for her mischief. Yet, the couple is still together at the end.
Perhaps the filmmakers anticipate a sequel: "Vernost II."
Plot summary
By the age of 30, Lena was able to achieve good results in life. She worked as an obstetrician-gynecologist. Colleagues respected, and happy patients tried to thank her. Her personal life also developed quite safely. Husband Sergei worked as an actor in a drama theater, showed concern and did not interfere in affairs, but recently she began to notice serious changes in his behavior. Another fact is that they did not have sex. One day she reads one of her husband's text messages, she is convinced he is cheating on her. At one point, she does not stand up and in revenge cheats with a little-known man. For her, a new world unexpectedly opens up, filled with passion and incredible emotions, which she uses for her emotional state. But constant betrayal is becoming an integral part of double life.

Dangerous Liaisons
Another strong start with weak finish
Start strong, and the trigger that leads one of the protagonists down the road of infidelity with the twist that results is interesting (trying to stay spoiler free here),however, the ultimate end point of the relationship is contrived and amateurish writing.
So many good films start strong only to have the writers outsmart themselves. Shame. This strong start could have gone somewhere interesting if the couple had been more realistic in the end.
Also, try and find the original Russian version. The main women lead dubbing on TUBI is okay, but the rest of the characters' dubbing is mediocre to poor.
Unapologettically Erotic
A steamy and entertaining drama that keeps you engaged to the very end. Sensuality and explicit sexuality hold hands to make this kinky movie surprisingly effective.
