Synopsis

At the end of the Second World War, Dottie Tanner locked away the past, blocking out the heartache she experienced as a special operative working alongside the Resistance. Sixty years later, Dottie remains independent and proud of everything she has achieved, but time is running out. Watching the V.E. Day Celebrations on television reignites a flame. After a lifetime of resisting the lure of France, she decides to face her demons. Taking her granddaughter, Maude, along for company, Dottie’s trip down memory lane soon turns into a voyage of discovery that tests lifelong friendships and means facing old foes. But how will Dottie cope when her whole world is turned upside down?
