Summary
In an exquisite tableau of early cinematic farce, a determined young suitor, brimming with matrimonial intent, embarks upon the seemingly innocuous quest of seeking his beloved’s hand from her formidable patriarch. What unfolds is a relentless, almost balletic, cycle of escalating physical comedy: each earnest attempt to broach the delicate subject in the father's office is met with an increasingly inventive, unceremonious, and often violent expulsion. The suitor, a veritable punching bag of romantic ambition, is hurled, tossed, and propelled from the sanctum of paternal authority through a bewildering array of doors, windows, and even furniture, his persistent ardor clashing spectacularly with the father’s unyielding refusal. Meanwhile, the object of his affection, a vision of hopeful anticipation, remains in a state of perpetually suspended animation, her patience a silent counterpoint to the chaotic, repeated rejections her fiancé enduring, encapsulating a timeless struggle against an absurdly entrenched obstacle to love.
Synopsis
