Think of England

Synopsis

It is the summer of 1943. A small and very disparate group of people arrive on a remote Orkney island beach tasked with a top secret mission - the making of pornographic films for the boys at the front. For who knows how long this war still has to run, and fighting morale - as we learned only too well from the last one - is everything.
So then, a very war-damaged former movie star; a celebrated German film-director; a munitions-machinist-come-aspiring-actress; an Etonian major from the Ministry of Information; an aging, alcoholic hair-and-makeup artist; a young lad, as innocent as can be, and right on the very threshold of war’s bloodbath.
Oh, and a half-starved and very ragged Luftwaffe pilot, watching on from afar…
