A British woman recalls coming of age during World War I - a story of young love, the futility of war, and how to make sense of the darkest times.

Details

Testament of Youth is a powerful and haunting World War I drama set in Britain. This heart-wrenching film revolves around the coming of age journey of a young woman named Vera Brittain. As war engulfs the world, Vera's life is forever changed, and she grapples with the realities of love, loss, and the horrors of war.
