Girl In The Woods

Synopsis

Martin is unfit, so he starts jogging. In the first few days of his new routine he finds a route through the woods, and most mornings his journey is punctuated by little more than his own laboured breathing. But this morning is different.
When he sees a man, burying a girl, he does what most of us would do - he runs. Then he makes a decision he will come to regret - and goes back. Martin doesn't know it yet, but it's the worst decision he ever made.

A drama set in rural England amidst the backdrop of World War II exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the impact of war on personal lives - highlighting the human capacity for both empathy and cruelty in times of crisis. Martha, an 11-year-old mixed-race girl, is evacuated from London to the northern English countryside. Martha finds herself in the care of a gruff gamekeeper and his family. Feeling isolated and rejected due to her racial background and the community’s war-induced tensions, she tries to adapt to her new life, becoming captivated by the natural beauty of the countryside. Martha forms a secret friendship with Enzo, an Italian POW, whose gentle demeanour and shared sense of displacement draw them together. Martha also navigates a complex relationship with George, the gamekeeper's son, who is torn between his familial prejudices and his growing fondness for Martha.
