Overview

A teenage girl is stranded by a storm on a small North Sea island, where she and a young teacher fall in love and conceive a child. Back on the mainland, with help from her aunt and a family doctor, she gives birth and returns to finish school, unaware that the teacher has become her colleague and is now engaged. Faced with social stigma and personal conflict, she conceals her motherhood until the truth emerges, leading both to acknowledge their relationship and their child.
