Lolita

Not pretty story really.
It talks about child abuse in first half of 20th century. About a man who loved young girls. It also explains why.
When he was young, of age 14, he fell in love with a girl he got to know during summer holydays. They were young and they both loved each other. But tragedy happened and she died few months later. He never recovered the loss. That is why he fell in love with 14 year old child many years later.
He moved to a house with lady and her daughter. He spotted her soon after his arrival. Mean while the lady fell in love with him and he married her just to be closer to her daughter – his Lolita.
The daughter knew he had feelings for her and provoked him many times. Some time after the wedding his wife found notes where he describes his feelings. She waned to get away. But she doesn’t succeed. She dies in a car accident.
Lolita is in a summer camp all this time. So he packs the things and goes to her. He takes her with him and they made love. He tells her about her mother.
They travel all over the country and do the forbidden things. Until one day Lolita gets lost. Well, she was not lost. She ran away with another, even older, man. He searches her but never finds her. Few years later she writes him for money. She was with another man and pregnant. She tells him what happened back then.
He gives her money and kills the man who stole Lolita from him. In the end he gets arrested and imprisoned.
Film is shot after a book Vladimir Nabokov. Can not believe that some people are so different.
