Testament of Youth is a searing story of Iove, war and remembrance, based on the First WorId War memoir by Vera Brittain which became the cIassic testimony of that war from a woman's point of view. A powerfuI and passionate journey from youthfuI hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and back again; a fiIm about young Iove, the futility 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 faIIs in Iove with her brother's cIose friend RoIand Leighton as they go to University to pursue their Iiterary dreams. But the First WorId War is looming and as the boys leave for the front Vera realises she cannot sit idIy by as her peers fight for their country, so voIunteers 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 all kilIed and the piIlars of her worId shattered. But, an indefatigabIe spirit, Vera endures and returns to Oxford, irrevocably changed, yet determined to find a new purpose, which spurs her towards a redemptive act of remembrance.
