Babbitt

In a sun-drenched Midwestern town, a steadfast but restless small-businessman navigates the pressures of conformity, ambition, and personal dissatisfaction. As he advocates for change in a world built on routines and appearances, he confronts the quiet dissonance between his outward success and inner longing. Through sharp conversations, intimate moments, and a series of moral choices, the story traces one man’s attempt to redefine happiness while the country around him spirals between tradition and modernity. A thoughtful, character-driven exploration of identity, ambition, and the costs of chasing an ideal.
