Just look at those smiles.
After the wedding, Lucille and Cyril settle into their life as newlyweds. They dream of owning a home and save money to reach this goal — and then one little surprise changes everything. Lucille discovers she’s pregnant. This definitely isn’t how they planned it, but the couple are overjoyed.
Tragically, Lucille suffers a miscarriage, and everything changes once again. There may not be a way to reach through the screen and comfort her, but that’s surely what every viewer wants to do when Lucille tells Cyril that she’d thought she would be better at carrying a baby after all her training as a nurse and midwife.
Her work and church friends rally around her as soon as they hear the news, but Lucille seems to feel uniquely isolated. More failed attempts to start a family leave her thinking about home. As discrimination and bullying show their ugly faces once again, it becomes clear that our intrepid Lucille is hurting.
