Summary
As mortality's shadow lengthens across his ancestral estate, landowner John Blixton confronts his demise with stoic resignation, yet trembles at the spectral inheritance awaiting his son. Young Ralph stands poised to receive not merely deeds and acreage, but the crushing weight of unformed character in a world where Copenhagen's soot-stained tendrils reach hungrily toward pastoral innocence. This silent chiaroscuro unfolds as a visceral cartography of filial obligation, charting the heir's descent into metropolitan chaos where predatory financiers circle like vultures, love's redemptive spark battles corrosive hatred, and every cobblestone echoes with the ghost of paternal expectations.
Synopsis
Landowner John Blixton is about to die. Taking leave of life worries him less than what will happen to his son Ralph, who is left alone in the world to try to control the property as well as his own life.
