[ENG DUB] While She Starved

Fern Burke trusted Edwin Smith to protect their family. Instead, he supports two households: his own and his widowed sister-in-law, Vera Green. To avoid gossip he brings Vera to the military city and leaves Fern and their children in the countryside. He sends Fern three monthly love letters while diverting his entire military allowance to Vera. When famine strikes, Vera and her two children dine on meat buns in Edwin's comfortable home, while Fern and her children silently starve. Betrayal and grief harden Fern. She is given a second chance at life. This time she will not suffer quietly. Hunger, deceit and a vow for justice set the stage for a fierce, compact struggle as Fern prepares to reclaim her family's dignity.
