Description
In 1946, Britain is struggling to cope with the aftermath of war. Servicemen are returning home, but tensions run high as anti-Polish propaganda spreads. Against this backdrop, Billy Greer takes in a young Polish veteran named Wladyslaw Malinowski as a labourer on his uncle's farm. As the country faces its worst winter in a century, Billy and Wladyslaw form an unlikely bond. Meanwhile, Stella, the local schoolteacher, finds herself drawn to Wladyslaw, but her feelings are complicated by her own past experiences. As the tensions of post-war life come to a head, the story builds towards a tragic confrontation. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of the Somerset wetlands, Homeland is a powerful and moving tale of love, loss, and mistrust in the aftermath of war.
