Synopsis:
In a turn-of-the-twentieth century Welsh mining town a Jewish pacman and the daughter of a proud working class family share a doomed love affair.
Review:
Grim and monotonous, this tale of love in a society guided by rigid codes follows its inevitable course towards Brontëesque tragedy, though with some softening of the demands of realism and artily shot sex scenes for the Catherine Cookson crowd.
