Dam Street
Bridging past and present, "Dam Street" opens in a village in the early 1980s with an unwanted pregnancy. Sixteen, beautiful and involved with another student, Yun manages to keep her swelling belly hidden until nearly the end of her term, when she and her secret are discovered in a school bathroom. The school expels the lovers and trumpets their "moral decadence" on loudspeakers that blast the news throughout their small village. The boy leaves to become a carpenter's apprentice; Yun stays and delivers a baby that her mother, a teacher at the school, says has died.
