Description |
The film opens on a close up of the The Daily Telegraph's VE Day front page followed by a still of Winston Churchill. The film cuts to Smokey the cat being held by Mrs. Hughes outside the family home. Bunting and flags decorate the Ship Inn pub. The family later attend a bonfire, children can be seen playing with fireworks. In the next scene, a mock "Hitler" can be seen in a coffin with a sign that reads 'He's Had It'. Back at home, Mrs. Hughes enjoys breakfast in bed and shows the camera a Christmas card. Out on the street, children can be seen playing hopscotch together. The family go for a walk along the canal towpath. The film ends with scenes of a group of young people sat on a bench and going for a walk in the woods. |
