in a bar one evening.

There she meets a naval officer.

00:02:03,666 --> 00:02:09,055
When he discovers that she is a mother,
he breaks off the encounter.

14
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:17,500
I have tried to convey the thoughts
solely through the images

15
00:02:17,722 --> 00:02:22,055
and hope that the audience
will appreciate my efforts.
