Guy and girl are innocent kids in their fathers garden till some dragon makes them understand their own nakedness and next thing you know, bam, kicked out of daddies house....eves pregnant , adam has a shitty job, and their kids just won't stop bickering. Thus things would be forever and ever amen.
It wasn’t a coming of age story, it is a good old times story that is calculated to use the fiction of a golden age to boost the prestige and extend the influence of clique of old men who both need the services of the younger generation and want to lord over them by implying they were closer to that golden age and therefore closer to the ultimate old man in the sky.
