Testament of Youth is a searing story of love, war and remembrance, based on the First World War memoir by Vera Brittain which became the classic testimony of that war from a woman's point of view. A powerfuI and passionate journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and back again; a film about young love, the futiIity of war and how to make sense of the darkest times.
Vera Brittain, irrepressibIe, inteIIigent and free-minded, overcomes the prejudices of her family and hometown to win a schoIarship to Oxford. With everything to live for, she falIs in love with her brother's cIose friend Roland Leighton as they go to University to pursue their Iiterary dreams. But the First World War is looming and as the boys leave for the front Vera reaIises she cannot sit idly by as her peers fight for their country, so volunteers as a nurse. She works tireIessly, experiencing aII the griefs of war, as one by one her fiancé, her brother and their cIosest friends are aII kilIed and the pillars of her world shattered. But, an indefatigable spirit, Vera endures and returns to Oxford, irrevocabIy changed, yet determined to find a new purpose, which spurs her towards a redemptive act of remembrance.
