In 1951, Marcus Messner, a working-class Jewish student from New Jersey, attends a small Ohio college, where he struggles with anti-Semitism, sexual repression, and the ongoing Korean War. The film is a pure drama that follows Marcus's journey as he navigates his social skills, confused romance with a troubled girl, differences with the college dean, and confronts the harsh realities of war and mental illness.
