A very edifying movie about a young woman who's parents both die from a plague at the same time, and she is left to raise her 3 brothers and 2 sisters who are all younger than she is. After her parents are buried, they are kicked out of their home onto the streets. Cissy will not let her siblings go to an orphanage or poor house, and she sets out to find a place for them to live. She finds a cave, and the story start's from there. She maintains her dignity through many adversities, as well as assaults, and she is more than courageous. She holds no animosity towards those who have made her life miserable, and does not let anything keep her down. She cares for others, especially those in trouble or helpless before herself. She is a heroine and model of inner strength. I love the movie. Wish I could find a copy of it.
