No Shooting Time for Foxes

Book adaptation/Drama, 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?
