- Dannville, Connecticut at the turn of the century. Young Richard Miller lives in a middle-class neighborhood with his family. He is in love with the girl next door Muriel, but her father isn't too happy with their puppy love, since Richard always shares his revolutionary ideas with her.—Mattias Thuresson
- It's 1899 in the town of Dannville, Connecticut. Two romances in two different generations within the extended liberal-minded Miller household are told, that household headed respectively by patriarch and matriarch Nat Miller, editor of the local newspaper, and his housewife, Essie Miller. The first involves Uncle Sid, who works at the newspaper, and Cousin Lily, who has continually turned down his proposals of marriage she arguing because of the "other woman" from eighteen years ago, but in reality it is because of his over-consumption of alcohol which makes him the good ol' boy of town but unreliable. His drinking is also the unofficial reason he is leaving town for job at another newspaper. The second is Nat and Essie's middle child, Richard Miller, who is just graduating from high school as its valedictorian, he who is attending Yale in the fall. He has said the "L" word to his girlfriend Muriel McComber, who is staying in Dannville in the fall, and while she may feel the same way, is not ready not only to say it back but to kiss him. The issue is not their imminent separation, but Richard's burgeoning beliefs based on his latest reading materials which could be construed as subversive ideologies, it all in an effort to be well read, but without truly understanding their real world implications. What happens with Richard is a real life lesson about his attempt to grow up faster than he truly is equipped to be in meeting Belle, a chorus girl.—Huggo
