Synopsis:

Drama set during World War 2 about Lily, who is working as a seamstress in London's East End during the Blitz. She and her best friend Sophie meet, fall for, and subsequently marry a pair of Canadian soldiers stationed in Britain. Lily and Sophie are granted Canadian citizenship and head off to a remote part of Canada to start new lives, waiting for their men to return from the war.

With all the men away to war, Lily (Anna Friel - The Land Girls) falls madly in love and marries a handsome Canadian soldier, Charlie Travis (Aden Young - The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course). But Charlie is shipped off to the front and Lily discovers she's expecting his baby, not knowing if she will ever see him alive again. Lily receives instructions from the Canadian Embassy that she is to be shipped across the sea to her new Canadian in-laws. Life for Lily is not about to improve, on arriving in Canada she is met by cold-hearted mother-in-law, Betty (Brenda Fricker - Academy Award Winner - My Left Foot) and crippled sister-in-law, Sylvia. Lily finds she has swapped one horrendous existence for another, as she struggles to survive on a dilapidated farm in the bleak Canadian wilderness. Based on a true story and winner of two Genies (Canada's Academy Awards), this film is both heartfelt and funny, and will genuinely keep you engrossed till the end.
