A World War 2 saga to warm the heart. Three women become friends
when working in their local picture house. When life is so tough
for everyone, a trip to the pictures is the perfect way to escape,
to dream of romance and hope for the good things peace will bring.
It is 1943 on England's war-weary south coast where the conflict
seems never-ending. After the heartache of the previous year,
Connie Baxter now appears to have everything a girl could want.
There is Ace, a man who loves her. She enjoys an enviable lifestyle
despite the deprivations of war. She has friends and a job she
adores as an usherette at the Criterion cinema. But appearances can
be deceptive and Connie is struggling in more ways than one. Then,
to compound Connie's problem, her nemesis, Cousin Marlene, returns
home. Secrets come to light, revealing jealousies that could
shatter Connie's world once more, and Connie realizes that Ace
isn't the man she thought he was. In the darkest days of war, the
glamour of movies and their stars can lift the bleakest of moods,
while friends make the good times better and the bad times
bearable.
