No Shooting Time for Foxes

Drama/Book adaptation, Germany 1966

Two young intellectuals from the upper bourgeoisie come to terms with bourgeois society. They have mastered the manners of this society, which they actually despise, but cannot find a way out. The intelligent young men are perplexed about their own lives. One of them works as a driver on driven hunts, and they feel like they evade like the foxes that they always encounter on those driven hunts; they push themselves into the undergrowth, celebrate the closed season that they have chosen for themselves. To escape from this world, Viktor emigrates to Australia and becomes a seller of hunting weapons, while his friend stays in Germany and becomes a journalist. But are the new paths more fulfilling than the lives they had?
