a man as shy as he is retiring, assumes a cloak of invisibility
to protect himself from vicissitudes of everyday life. The only
escapes he enjoys are into the inner world of his own making.
Quite accidentally, a young woman enters his drab reality. After
a turbulent time of adjustment, the protective ramparts Marvin
so carefully erected begin to crumble. The radiant color she
brings into the gray monotony of his life gradually sets him
free. |
