From the first time she heard the unforgettable melody her father
whistled, Mabel Shields was determined to unlock the lyrics to this
haunting tune, a relic of his time in the Great War. A curiosity
that led her to meet Paul Conway, manager of Barwell's struggling
music shop. Mabel begins to share Paul's interest in cinema as well
as appreciate his extensive knowledge of popular music. Odeon
matinees together and lyrics as coded love letters chart their
growing closeness as the cost of the war bears down more heavily on
their lives, living in fear, under ever tighter restrictions, and
losing loved ones. And what happened to her, while rushing home
through a blustery storm one Christmas eve years later, that
brought it all back?
