A tragic love story. The England of 1935 is evoked in detail at the start of this stylish adaptation of a complex Ian McEwan novel, when a developing love affair between a couple from different social groups is thwarted.
The settings include a 1930’s country house and World War 2 Dunkirk in 1940. The lasting consequences of a single lie on a family are depicted.
Themes include the value of imagination and a child’s perceptions of adult behaviour.
