O Wildnis

In a town in Connetticut in 1906, newspaper publisher Miller has problems with his sixteen-year-old son Richard, who reads Wilde, Shaw, Swinburne and Ibsen. Richard loves the neighbor's daughter with touching naivety, which the neighbor finds sinful. The problems of puberty are solved idyllically with a great deal of understanding and bourgeoisie. The everyday life of an average family with small disasters and small victories oscillates between heart and sentimentality and the wilderness of awakening love is nothing more than a teasing maze.
