Synopsis
A wasted young man, silent and moody, spends time with the family maid, who reads from Thomas à Kempis' Imitation of Christ . Meanwhile, the young man's mother and father argue in bed about their son, trying to determine what has gone wrong with him and lamenting their own state of affairs. Inter-cut are scenes of the son with a hobo, ambling through the streets of San Francisco.
