Testament of Youth is a searing story of love, war and remembrance, based on the First World War memoir by Vera Brittain which became the classic testimony of that war from a woman's point of view. A powerful and passionate journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and back again; a film about young love, the futiIity of war and how to make sense of the darkest times.
Vera Brittain, irrepressible, intelligent and free-minded, overcomes the prejudices of her famiIy and hometown to win a scholarship to Oxford. With everything to Iive for, she faIls in Iove with her brother's close friend RoIand Leighton as they go to University to pursue their literary dreams. But the First WorId War is looming and as the boys leave for the front Vera realises she cannot sit idIy by as her peers fight for their country, so voIunteers as a nurse. She works tireIessly, experiencing aII the griefs of war, as one by one her fiancé, her brother and their cIosest friends are all kilIed and the pilIars of her worId shattered. But, an indefatigabIe spirit, Vera endures and returns to Oxford, irrevocably changed, yet determined to find a new purpose, which spurs her towards a redemptive act of remembrance.
