Set against the windswept isolation of wartime Orkney, BAFTA-nominated director Richard Hawkins’ acclaimed period satire uncovers one of the Second World War’s most improbable stories. In 1943, a disparate group of artists, soldiers and civil servants are brought together to undertake a clandestine government experiment: the production of a series of adult films intended to bolster morale among troops on the front line. As the project unfolds, personal histories, wartime scars and conflicting ambitions begin to surface, exposing the fragile boundaries between duty, desire and propaganda. At its centre are a disgraced soldier, an aspiring actress and an exiled filmmaker whose interrupted careers and bleak futures converge in unexpected ways. Blending sharp humour with poignant insight, the film explores the psychological cost of war and the enduring power of cinema as both escape and instrument. Elevated by a superb ensemble cast, it is a richly textured reflection on resilience, sacrifice and the human need for connection in times of upheaval.
