Based on a short story by Joseph Conrad called 'Amy Foster'. The intolerant inhabitants of a seaside town ostracize an introverted young woman, branded a simpleton because of her refusal to relate to uncaring townsfolk, and her lover, a shipwrecked, unkempt Ukrainian man, considered to be equally dim. When the two misfits marry and have a son, the townspeople unite in an effort to undermine their happiness.
