STORYLINE
SYNOPSIS |
Set during the occupation of the Channel Islands during World War II. The
story shows how Island life changed overnight after a German invasion.
Islanders were restricted to walking and cycling, town names were changed to
German names, clocks were set to continental time, and no society could meet
without the permission of German High Command. The focus is on three
families, the Dorrs, the Jonases and the Mahys, as they struggle on with
day to day life under the restrictive new system.
