Отец героя - директор крупного издательского дома, человек властный и жесткий, всеми силами пытается воспрепятствовать выбору сына. Он решает пригласить сына совершить круиз на яхте вместе со своей любовницей. Девушка весьма умело преподносит неоперившемуся юнцу «философию жизни»: красивые девушки любят уверенных и состоявшихся мужчин, а внутренний мир малышей и их духовные поиски их совершенно не интересуют. Птенец замкнется в себе и попытается вступить в моральную схватку с отцом, который прямо заявит, что не позволит ему стать священником. Он у него единственный сын, поэтому должен продолжать дело отца. Сын будет упорствовать, и отец его ударит. В состоянии стресса сын зайдет в комнату любовницы отца и займется с ней любовью. После этого он перестанет уважать себя и откажется от планов сделаться священником.
