A disillusioned former pianist, Robert Dupea, gives up his promising career and upper-class lifestyle to work on oil rigs and drift from one dead-end job to another. When his father falls ill, Robert returns home with his latest fling, Rayette, and meets his father's cultured and sophisticated friend, Catherine. As he reconnects with his family and grapples with his past, Robert must confront the emptiness of his itinerant lifestyle and decide what truly matters to him. Nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Actor, Actress, and Original Screenplay, this powerful drama explores themes of identity, class, and the search for meaning in post-1960s America.
