Mary is sixteen. She works in a Bakery. She has the the fancies and foibles natural to a girl her age. She dreams of nice clothes, hamdsome suitors, happy times. But already her life is coloured by her surroundings. Already futility and frustration stretch ahead. Already her dreams are losing their battle against reality.
