The Gentleman from San Francisco

“Mr. from San Francisco” shows a world of soullessness, lies, and vulgarity. At the same time, it reveals the smallness of power and wealth before death.
The action takes place on the passenger ship “Atlantida,” traveling to Europe from America.
The “Mr. from San Francisco,” who until the age of 58 “didn’t live but merely existed,” fighting for material well-being and a place in society, set off with his family on a long journey around the world—to enjoy all the pleasures that money can buy.
