Children of Divorce

In the shadow of their parents' broken unions, three children of the 'divorce colony' grow into a world where love is a secondary concern to survival and social standing. Kitty, a vivacious but cynical flapper, recognizes the same desperate hunger for security in her childhood friend Ted, a wealthy but aimless heir. While Ted harbors a pure, long-standing devotion to the virtuous Jean, his paralyzing fear of repeating his parents' marital failures prevents him from committing. Seizing a moment of drunken vulnerability, Kitty maneuvers Ted into a legal union he never intended, effectively shattering the lives of all three. What follows is a grim exploration of the 'Lost Generation's' inability to escape the cycles of domestic trauma, leading to a climax that trades romantic tropes for the cold reality of consequence.
