Description

England, 1942: a dark world of conflict, hardship and subterfuge where information is a matter of life and death and art has become a weapon. In a Gothic villa deep in the woods near Bletchley Park, the 'Black' team use intelligence to make propaganda designed to demoralise the enemy. For Vivienne Thayer, employed as an artist at the villa, the war has worked out well so far, and while the government quibbles of what can and cannot be shown, and the villa there are no such restrictions. Meanwhile, on the the Home Front, three women have been tasked with recording wartime life, brightening the existance of a public starved for culture. As the course of the war turns and the groups collide, each woman must ask herself what can be revealed and what must be concealed, even from those closest to them.
