Testament Of Youth

Testament Of Youth is a powerful coming-of-age story of love, war, and remembrance, based on the First World War memoir by Vera Brittain, which is acclaimed as the classic testimony of that war from a woman’s point of view. A journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and back again, it is a story about young love, the futility of war, and how to make sense of the darkest times. The story is told through the eyes of Vera (Vikander), a youthful feminist, free-minded and irrepressible, whose intense romance with Roland Leighton (Harrington) is interrupted by the war. The story follows her wartime experience, which moved her to write one of the most defining memoirs of her time. (Gary Reber)
