(Flash Review)
Hailed as one of the first ever films to have a truly realistic narrative and where the actors aren't overacting like most silent films of the period. The films hits on the head of the failure of society caring for those in need. A financially responsible family, with three small children, takes the risk to start their own grocery story when suddenly illness strikes the family and their business fails, eventually bankrupting them. Established society's regulations takes their effect and you see the dramatic results. The film uses effective lighting and restrained acting to highlight the authentic story.
