The War Bride

In London at the height of the Blitz, Lily (Anna Friel) falls in love with, and marries, Charlie (Aden Young), a visiting Canadian soldier who is soon shipped off to fight on the Continent. After he leaves, Lily discovers that she is carrying his child and embarks on a journey across the Atlantic to make a new home with Charlie’s family. However, she soon finds that life in the Canadian wilderness is no less difficult than life in war-torn London, particularly when it comes to her cold-hearted mother-in-law (Brenda Fricker).
