A Long Way Off
Jacob, weary of life on his family’s farm and his father’s strict rules, decides to ask for his inheritance early. To his surprise, his father agrees, and Jacob sets off for the city to live life on his own terms. Initially, he thrives, taking bold business risks that turn his modest inheritance into a substantial fortune. Despite his extravagant lifestyle, which draws the attention of the wrong crowd, including the alluring Laura and her wealthy, often dangerous boyfriend Frank, Jacob enjoys success. He has it all: wealth, women, and status. However, his fortunes take a drastic turn, and he loses everything. Just when he thinks he’s hit rock bottom, things get even worse, leaving him scavenging for food and living in a pigsty. Realizing his mistakes, he decides to return home, ready to start from the bottom working for his father. To his astonishment, his father runs to meet him—but is it with open arms or with anger?
