A woman who cannot get a man because she is not pretty enough and a man whose face is disfigured after an accident in the war and consequently loses his fiancée; the two find each other in their loneliness and slowly something beautiful blossoms between them.
The build-up is slow but more than well done, so that the impact of both their characters comes across effectively: he is embittered by his disfigurement and initially wants to speak to no one, withdrawing into the cottage where he was originally supposed to stay with his initial fiancée, and she is sad because the men invariably choose other, more attractive women over her.
The performances of both are strong and the story is captivating, infused with a light fairytale touch.
