Mr. Dombey, the owner of a large and successful firm, has finally had a son. Mr. Dombey is happy because now the name of his firm, "Dombey and Son," reflects reality. He can now pass the business on by inheritance, and the succession of generations will not be interrupted! Everything else is insignificant to Mr. Dombey. He is not saddened by the death of his wife, he is indifferent to his daughter, because all this has no relation to the future of the firm. All his thoughts are about his son, who, alas, turns out to be weak in health, and this threatens the fulfillment of the father's dreams. Is Mr. Dombey capable of understanding what is truly important in life? Can he change before it's too late?
