Chô Akunin

Hayam is a factory worker living in a lower-middle-class area with other factory girls. She thinks that her feelings for the new factory supervisor can grow in spite of the class differences between them--and he has feelings for her too--but cruel reality intervenes when a pregnancy test is found in the factory, and because she never hid her feelings, everybody--even her family and close friends--accuses her of being a sinner. The factory girl does not want to defend herself, so she pays a big price dealing with a society that does not accept proud women. —Anonymous
