Benjamin Braddock, adrift after college, is seduced by a woman twice his age: icily-assured friend 
of the family Mrs. Robinson. So its understandable that Benjamin's dream girl is aghast when she 
finds out he's been sleeping with... her mother.

==========

Ben has recently graduated college, with his parents now expecting great things from him. At his 
"Homecoming" party, Mrs. Robinson, the wife of his father's business partner, has Ben drive her 
home, which leads to an affair between the two. The affair eventually ends, but comes back to haunt 
him when he finds himself falling for Elaine, Mrs. Robinson's daughter.

==========

The action is mainly seen through the eyes of Benjamin Braddock, a confused twenty-one year old, 
who is worried about his future but who does not simply want to follow the commercial path of his 
affluent family and their friends. His life becomes complicated when he is embroiled in an affair 
with an older woman, Mrs. Robinson, the wife of his father's business partner. It becomes impossible 
when he falls in love with Mrs. Robinson's daughter, Elaine.
