— Appears in: Overland , no. 71 1978; (p. 11-21) The second of four short films that comprise the feature film Libido, 'The Child' is set during the 1910s. The protagonist is a child whose father has left. The boy watches as first his mother and then his governess have affairs with a local man, with tragic consequences. The story deals essentially with the child's inner emotions and the disturbance that sudden exposure to overt sexuality in an adult world can cause.

Notes
