The story of The First Man is set in 1920s America, where an anthropologist Curt prepares to travel to Africa to search for the ‘The First Man’ of humankind. His relationship with his wife Martha is tested to the core, when Curt’s family suspect Martha of improper affection for Bigelow, a friend of Curt’s. In the stifling atmosphere of small town America, rumor threatens to destroy their marriage. Curt’s inner masculinity grows to overwhelm him and leads toward his own self-destruction.
