Synopsis:

For the Moment is an old-fashioned movie set in Manitoba during 1942 when pilots from around the world were being trained in Canada to fight against the Axis forces. Lachlan (Russell Crowe), a romantic Aussie, falls in love with Lill (Christianne Hirt), a hard-working farm woman whose husband is already serving overseas. Zeek (Scott Kraft), a Yank flight instructor, wants to marry Betsy (Wanda Cannon), an industrious widow who plies an ancient trade in order to support her two children. The film, written and directed by Aaron Kim Johnston, convincingly shows how men and women in love during wartime wrestled with the contradictory demands of loneliness, desire, conscience, community, and erotic passion. For the Moment beautifully evokes a special period in Canadian history and makes the most of the lovely rural landscape.

For the Moment is a 1993 film written and directed by Aaron Kim Johnston and starring Russell Crowe and Christianne Hirt. The plot revolves around airmen training in rural Manitoba, Canada, with the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during the Second World War. The main focus of the story is the wartime romance between Russell Crowe's character and a local girl. Johnson was inspired to write the screenplay based on the stories of his father who was an instructor and bomber pilot in the war, and his mother's experiences as a young woman on the home front.

The story of airmen training in rural Manitoba in the summer of 1942 to go overseas and become bomber pilots in World War II, as well as the romantic entanglements which overcome them while they contemplate life and love in a world at war.
