The War Bride
The Time: The Height of the Blitz – 1941

The Place: War Torn London

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 must struggle to survive on a dilapidate farm in the bleak Canadian wilderness.

Based on the 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.
