Chudá holka

The illegitimate child, Marie Ruzová, grows up in the family of the miller Borický. She spends her childhood and youth with Borický's son, Klement. Klement studies law, becomes a lawyer and is to marry Jirinka. Her mother, however, fears Klement's relationship with Marie and threatens the Borickýs that she will not give her Jirinka to Klement as a wife. In order not to cause further contradictions, Marie secretly leaves for Prague at night. There she earns a hard living as a waitress.
