The Intimidated Bourgeois

In the wake of a bustling postwar city, a complacent businessman finds his orderly life upturned by a chance encounter with a clever, misfit playwright who feeds his dreams of daring innovation. As whispers of revolt and opportunity swirl through his drawing-room alliances, the once self-assured patriarch begins to question the rigid codes that shield his status. A fraught social web pulls him toward a newfound camaraderie with the bold, the poor, and the ambitious, challenging him to decide what it truly means to protect a reputation and to risk failure for something more exhilarating than security.
