Resistance
Synopsis
Sarah Lewis, a 26 year-old farmer's wife, wakes to find her husband Tom has disappeared. On the same morning the other women in the isolated Welsh border valley of Olchon discover their husbands have gone, too. Assuming their men have joined the resistance, the women in this tiny community pull together, taking on the running of the farms themselves and waiting, desperate for news.
A German patrol arrives in the valley, the purpose of its mission a mystery. When a severe winter forces the two groups into co-operation, a fragile mutual dependency develops. Sarah begins a faltering acquaintance with the patrol's commanding officer, Albrecht.
But as the chaos of the war presses in on them, Albrecht feelings for Sarah deepen and he confesses to her the secret of his mission. Soon the valley’s delicate state of harmony begins to falter and the women and soldiers are forced to make decisions that will change their lives forever.

Two brothers, both wonderful chefs, fall out catastrophically. At the climax of their dispute they rip the family recipe book in half – one brother gets the starters and the other gets the main courses. They set up rival restaurants, on opposite sides of the same road, and spend the next twenty years trying to outdo each other. Neither brother will admit it but they both know they are not entirely successful in the ‘other half’ of the menu. It takes a daughter – a successful London lawyer, Shalini, marrying a man from a different ethnic background – to reunite them. She is planning her marriage and is determined that they will both attend. Can the men bury the hatchet without actually burying the kitchen knife?
