Peter, the principal character in this film, spends his life in constant, indomitable, unconvin¬cible attempts to win the love of those who are dear to him. In the case of his parents' love, Peter feels he has to shout "here!" very loudly in order to make them notice him, for he is easily overlooked. He marries his childhood sweetheart and precipitately moves away from his parents to a large town. Once there, Peter gets into trouble. He has to furnish a flat, keep a wife, and very soon a child, too. When he comes to the point where he no longer knows what to do, where everything he has considered to be right till then becomes questionable, he gets crazy: he commits the type of murder which will later be called senseless. But indeed: Peter has called the people's attention to the senselessness he feels in his life with an action which is just as senseless.
Now it is for others to take care of the rest. And they do: Peter is sentenced to 10 years im¬prisonment for manslaughter. ![]() |
