It's 1941 and the British involvement in WWII has left the nation's farms void of farmhands. Thus, the Women's Land Army is formed where young women head off to the fields and barnyards to keep the soldiers and nation fed by its agricultural products. Three young women, Stella (CATHERINE MCCORMACK), a reserved romantic, Ag (RACHEL WEISZ), a Cambridge graduate, and Prue (ANNA FRIEL), a hairdresser, arrive at the Lawrence farm to help out. Stern Mr. Lawrence (TOM GEORGESON) doesn't think it's a great idea, but his submissive wife (MAUREEN O'BRIEN), welcomes them to their home. Stella spends most of her time worrying about her fiancé, Philip (PAUL BETTANY), who's off at the front, while Ag worries that her virginity might hinder her finding and keeping a man. Prue, on the other hand, immediately sets her sights on the Lawrence's adult son, Joe (STEVEN MACKINTOSH), a young man with his own sights set on joining the British RAF. Despite being engaged to Janet (LUCY AKHURST), however, Joe accepts Prue's advances and they have sex.
As they become more proficient on the farm and as the war rages on, the three women must deal with their individual relationships that develop with Joe, and must also attempt to shape their own destinies by deciding which man is right for each of them.
It is England in 1941 in the glorious Dorset countryside. Three beautiful young women, Stella, Ag and Prue, arrive on a remote farm. They are the 'Land Girls' - city girls who have volunteered to take the place of young men who have gone to war. They are an unlikely trio: Prue is vivacious and sexy; Ag is quiet and more reserved; while the dreamy, beautiful Stella is in love with Philip, a dashing naval officer. Despite their differences, they soon become close friends. The film follows their relationships with each other and the men in their lives in the face of war.
My Great Aunty Agnes was in the Land Army... I heard so many stories when I was little about the war from her POV.
Cheers Tina.
