Description
During the Second World War, life in the iconic Bryant & May match factory is grimy and tough. Annie, Rose, Pearl and Millie carry on making matches for the British Army, with bombs raining down around them. Inspired by the Dig for Victory campaign, Annie persuades the owners to start an allotment in the factory grounds, and the girls carve out a corner of the yard into a green plot full of life and colour. The garden becomes a place of community, friendship – and deceit.
