This World War II drama stars Michael Sheen (*Frost/Nixon, Masters of Sex*), and features two *Game of Thrones* stars, Iwan Rheon and Tom Wlaschiha. In 1944, the D-Day for the invasion of Normandy by the Allies has failed and Europe has not been released from the German forces. The men of an isolated Welsh village disappear and their wives believe that they have joined the resistance and soon German soldiers arrive at the village. The farmer Sarah Lewis and the German Commander Albrecht befriend to each other along the year. Winner of Best Actress (Sharon Morgan) at the **BAFTA Awards** (Wales). *"A beautiful, elliptical war film with the haunting qualities of a ghost story.
