Divorce and the Daughter
A married man suddenly inherits a fortune and finally has enough money to live his dream of becoming an artist. He moves his wife and daughter to a big expensive house and starts living the life of a "bohemian" artist. When he begins an affair with another woman, his wife leaves him and his daughter Alicia breaks off her engagement to a wealthy doctor and becomes involved in the "free love" movement espoused by one Herbert Rawlins. Rawlins, however, has his own plans for Alicia, and they don't involve "sharing" her with anyone else. Complications ensue.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a sharp critique of hypocrisy, contrasting bourgeois conventions with the fashionable radical ideas of the era. It explores how one man's thirst for self-realization shatters the family unit, while naive idealism leaves the next generation vulnerable.
What lingers after viewing is a poignant drama where personal tragedies mirror the social shifts of the time. The clash between dreams and harsh reality leaves a profoundly bittersweet impression. — MovieFinder Editorial

A quiet evening for contemplative viewing. Best watched undisturbed to appreciate the nuances of silent-era acting.
