Superfluous Ann in an Irish Portrait of Fate and Loss
In 1883 Ireland a poor family raises Ann called Superfluous Ann for her ugliness and uselessness. A visiting artist hires her as a model, sees her pain and finds beauty in her via painting. Ann destroys the darker work and, driven by despair, wanders to the Black Hill where she dies or is taken home after an electric storm.
