Drama set in 1911 Wales about the romance between
Solomon, a young Jewish door-to-door linen salesman and Gaenor, the daughter
of a church-going mining family in the town where he does business. Solomon is
attracted to Gaenor and courts her concealing from her his Judaism and his
family. The lovers meet secretly at first, and Gaenor can’t understand why
Solomon does not marry her. After some anti-Semitic eruptions, Solomon’s
family’s business is destroyed and they leave the area. The film has a
tragic ending and is reminiscent of a modern Romeo and Juliet tale. Includes
beautiful cinematography, fine acting and an interesting view of Jewish life
