We all strive for personal happiness in our lives, but the problem is that each of us has our own idea about where it lies. Some people think they may find it in love or friendship; many concentrate on wealth and material things.Through the story of a family and their friends and partners, this thought-provoking work concentrates on the conflict that results from this search. We are introduced to each character through their inner world, their own desires. Take Arnold, a young man, brought up by his mother to be a 'devotee' of money. Will he find fulfilment in life or will he become isolated and imprisoned by self-interest?
