Summary

Paul Meyerhofer is born into a family spiraling toward ruin, haunted by a personified 'Dame Care' that seems to dictate his life of self-sacrifice. It is a heavy, late-silent era drama about a son trying to pay off his father's spiritual and financial debts while everyone around him stares intensely into the middle distance.
