From loving to brusque - potent messages home to loved ones from soldiers during WWI

Loving, stilted, eloquent, banal and brusque - there's a wide emotional range to these messages home to loved ones, written on postcards by soldiers during WWI. Simple in concept and powerfully moving in effect, this short film is a beautiful tribute to the men and women on the front line of war or left behind at home.

Montage of impressions of the effect of the First World War on its participants from postcards sent to and from the front, which
illustrate the breakdown of normal relationships due to incommunicability of the two worlds of experience.
