Description

A gripping drama about one family's struggle to survive during World War II. In 1940, Bill Whittaker enlists to fight, leaving his wife Marion and their five children to face poverty. To make ends meet, Marion takes in two lodgers, Peggy Wagstaffe and Violet Clooney, who bring some much-needed light relief to the household. As the war drags on, disaster strikes when an explosion at a local munitions factory leaves one of the family's daughters badly disfigured. News arrives that her brother-in-law has been blinded in action, adding another layer of tragedy to their already precarious situation. Against this backdrop of hardship and loss, can Marion's daughter and her lodger find comfort and healing in each other? The story is a powerful exploration of love, resilience, and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
