Une villa aux environs de New York (TV)
Synopsis
Karl, a young immigrant, lives with his uncle in New York. He jealously watches over the education of his nephew. A friend, Mr. Pallunder invites Karl to spend a night at his house. Despite strong opposition from his uncle, Karl agrees. Mr. Pallunder and Karl cross New York while metal workers' demonstrations take place (black and white archives: aerial views of New York, protesters and police charges, neon lights at night). Mr. Pallunder introduces his daughter Clara who announces the unwanted visit of Mr. Green. When the meal is over, Clara trains Karl and is provocative and provocative against the silly and fierce young man. He wants to return to his uncle's home, but Mr Pallunder finds excuses not to accompany him. Mr. Green asked him to come and join him at just midnight and say goodbye to Clara. She begs him to play the piano. Karl runs and Mack, Clara's fiancé reveals her presence in the bedroom. M. Green gives Karl a letter from his uncle, who announces to him that he is a man of principle, that he drives him away, and confides him to M. Green. Karl wonders why he waited until midnight to give him the letter.
