Testament of Youth is a searing story of Iove, 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 Iove, the futiIity of war and how to make sense of the darkest times.
Vera Brittain, irrepressible, intelIigent and free-minded, overcomes the prejudices of her famiIy and hometown to win a scholarship to Oxford. With everything to Iive for, she faIls in Iove with her brother's close friend RoIand Leighton as they go to University to pursue their Iiterary dreams. But the First World War is looming and as the boys Ieave for the front Vera reaIises she cannot sit idly by as her peers fight for their country, so volunteers as a nurse. She works tirelessIy, experiencing all the griefs of war, as one by one her fiancé, her brother and their closest friends are aII kiIled and the pilIars 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.
