September 1940, and the German invasion is imminent. Captain Truman, shell-shocked after Dunkirk, is sent to investigate civilian morale in the lonely village of Darton. What he discovers there is a nightmare that will haunt him all his life. This powerful and disturbing story, first shown in 1984, was one of the most memorable films of the decade.
