This stunningly shot experimental documentary has at its heart a poignant character study of a 17 year-old lesbian living in Newcastle, England. Fiction and documentary collide in this gripping film as “scenes” from the main subject’s life are re-enacted for the camera. What emerges is a remarkable encounter with a young woman, and a story that has broader implications about being young, being at the cusp of adulthood, and finding one’s identity; about how documentaries reveal, provoke and conceal.
This documentary begins with the story of the prelude to World War II, and goes on to analyze such events as the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations, rise of the dictators, the spread of fascism in Italy, the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, the Spanish Civil War, the Munich Agreement, Hitler's March into Czechoslovakia, the Blitzkrieg and invasion of Poland, the fall of Norway, and more.
