Summaries

After a casual fling with an actor, a 1930s Irish woman becomes pregnant and avoids the stigma of raising a bastard child by marrying a boring older man.

Romantic drama set in rural 1930s Ireland. The story begins when 19-year-old Elizabeth has a brief fling with an actor and falls pregnant. Community pressure forces her to marry a dull middle-aged man, but maybe there is hope on the horizon.—Simon Shearn <[email protected]>
