Seventy-year-old Connecticut farmer Jesse Kietchik estranged from everyone else, is meeting his only grandson, David, for the first time. At stake is the future of his land. Within the framework of that final crisis of his life, its source is enacted: the marriage of his son to city-bred Willa Neuwald, whose drive and ambition are Jesse's match. Her determination to gain some part of his land as a future for herself and coming child meet his equal pride and insecurity making that giving impossible. And from the explosive rivalry grows a deep affection, the roots of that love the same as their incompatible needs. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Two writers, a generation apart in age, meet in the older man's study to read over a two-character play which the younger man has written. The play deals with men disturbingly like themselves, and as they read the lines suitable to each it becomes apparent that reality and fantasy have begun to mingle painfully. The younger man is struggling to understand, yet also to break free and to speak in his own voice; the older man tries desperately to defend the memory of better times, and to overcome the erosions of age. Their relationship is one of love-hate, burdened by the debts owed to each other, yet sustained by an affection which neither can deny. In the end there is stalemate, and the knowledge that death alone can sever the ties which bind them. | |||||

Synopsis: | As the play begins, Sammi is an old man waiting for the investigator who will check out his application for a pension. When his visitor arrives there are questions to be answered-questions which stir Sammi's memory of happenings which have brought him to what and where he is, and of the wife and son now lost to him. As the action progresses past and present merge, and the two actors are transformed into other people at other times, illuminating the joy, and sadness, which Sammi has known. In the end he is an old man once more-but the echoes of what went before will linger on in the mind, like a sequence of slowly fading pictures. | |||||
