Junior is Senior's son. They live together. Senior, folkloric, bawdy, sentimental, scruffy, bawling, alcoholic, and Junior, cold, clean, strict, trendy, upstart, get along well without understanding each other. Senior did not succeed in changing the society in which his son moves like a fish in water. Senior seeks to please women, Junior appeals to women, especially those of his generation. Senior feels very lonely. Junior never. They are millions like him, who will be adults in the year 2000.
