Adapted from a novel by Catherine Cookson, this is the simple tale of one family's fight for physical and moral survival in the dockland slums of Tyneside in 1910. DockerJohn O'Brian lives in near poverty in a small house in the worker's district. He falls in love with Mary Llewellyn, the teacher of his highly intelligent younger sister and the daughter of a rich family. Their love is doomed by their social differences, but the vigorous Mary refuses to allow circumstances to destroy their love. |
