With nowhere to live and no money to survive on, Carol moves her mother, brother and sister to the remote village where her father grew up. In her difficulties, Carol forges an unlikely friendship with Big Susy, a simple villager whose warmth helps her get through this trying period. She also, for the very first time, falls in love.
