- A girl seeks to learn whose daughter she is: daddy's, mummy's, uncle's or aunt's? As she probes, the family secret comes out: one brother slept with the other brother's wife, a child was born and an arrangement was made. The setting is 1930s America with its social tensions reflected in the family. The first brother is a communist, the second is for the status quo.
