Synopsis: |
Johnny, the local hero, has been flying bombing missions in the war Over There. When he suddenly returns home, broken, a shadow of his former self, people want to know the reason why. Piece by piece, his story emerges through the eyes of his younger sister, Lin, who's 14 (almost) and a bit of a punk. Bored with school and village life, her hum drum world is overturned when her brother sets up an anti-war protest in the local square that splits the community. Johnny's challenge to the powers that be provokes a violent reaction whilst the war gets alarmingly closer to home. |
