A film about filmmakers and the desire to provide inspiration in the darkest hours of British history. Like many others, Catrin sees the conditions Londoners have to face during the Blitz as a challenge to overcome hardship and show fortitude in a time of adversity. She has to take on a job that a woman would not normally have been offered during peacetime. Her sense of dialogue is noticed by the film department of the Ministry of Information and they entrust her with work on a screenplay for a film about the evacuation of soldiers from Dunkirk. Catrin and her more experienced colleague Tom keep on having to rewrite the script during its development and also during filming in order to satisfy all parties involved, whether the War Ministry or the whims of an aging actor. Not only is there upheaval in the screenplay, but also in real life; the bombing is relentless and no-one knows who will survive from one day to the next. The star-studded film, an adaptation of Lissa Evans’s novel Their Finest Hour and a Half, won the Audience Award at the festival in Göteborg.
