The Dark Side of Innocence (1976)
A suburban housewife's feeling that her life is standing still causes her to divorce her husband. This causes tension with her daughter, who bitterly resents her walking out on the family, and her mother, whose own beliefs about marriage and family are jolted by her daughter's divorce.
