Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
An effective drama in its first and most action-filled half, with some tapering off later, this story centers on Suzanne (Lene Gurtler), a young teen who has developed a mild fascination for the local silversmith (Erick Wedersoe). He encourages this interest and so one day she goes to him on a errand of business and then he asks her if she would like to dance. He puts on some music, they dance briefly, and then he suddenly accosts and rapes her. Ashamed by what has happened, Suzanne says nothing to her parents but does break down and tell a girlfriend. When she later learns that she has gotten pregnant, she still keeps quiet, intending to eventually let everyone think her boyfriend is the father. Circumstances change her life still further in unexpected ways.
