description: Ivanka as a child gets bitten with the "impossible dream" to go to America. Her macho grandfather owns a lot of land in the valley and he declares that men will be falling at my feet like ripe pears off the tree. But that does not matter much to the teenage Ivanka, who takes off suddenly one day for the Big City. Ivanka is disowned with these words: "Big city is no good for a girl like you, there are good men here - get married and be a good wife to 'him'." Ivanka's new life begins.
