Short filmTranscript
00:00:00The day me and my family came to the village was the summer of the last year of the First World War.
00:00:20Heat oozed from the ground and snow clouds of elder blossom banked in the sky.
00:00:25The chatter of haymakers drifted on waves of air from the fields, humming with blundering bees and flickering with scarlet butterflies.
00:00:55Oh, a boy, a baby!
00:01:03Oh, Mary!
00:01:05Pokemon!
00:01:13Just look at this place.
00:01:14What'd I tell you?
00:01:17What did I tell you, Darth? Marge, isn't it something?
00:01:21Beautiful, Darth.
00:01:28Hey, good night to meet you.
00:01:30We've got veggies. We've got veggies.
00:01:33Marge, look at that.
00:01:36Good night to meet you.
00:01:38Uh-oh. I got it.
00:01:41Look at me.
00:01:46My first memories are of being washed up in this strange new land,
00:01:56dizzy with scents and burnt all over with hot white flowers.
00:02:03Look, we've got sharks here.
00:02:06Oh, look at this place. Reg is gonna love it.
00:02:11I'm gonna love it.
00:02:17Love?
00:02:18Love?
00:02:19Come and get some strawberries.
00:02:24Marge, he's not here.
00:02:26Oh, he's gone a-wandering.
00:02:28Love?
00:02:30Love?
00:02:32There you are.
00:02:35The world was a miracle to me, and one day I would record what I had seen so that others could see it too, before it was lost. I'm gone forever.
00:02:52Oh, I want the place filled with flowers.
00:03:02You can make a posy here.
00:03:04Hello.
00:03:05As I was a-walking for my recreation.
00:03:10The eldest were my fathers of another marriage.
00:03:14Marge, Doth, and Phil.
00:03:18These half-sisters I cherished.
00:03:21And my mother cared for the halves just as much as she did for the holes.
00:03:26Me, my brother Jack, and my sister Frances.
00:03:32Reg, where'd I put him?
00:03:35You there?
00:03:36Yeah.
00:03:37You got him?
00:03:38Yeah.
00:03:39Safe and found.
00:03:40Pride of place.
00:03:42My father was away in London, working in the war office.
00:03:47His picture was the only thing I'd seen of him since I was three.
00:03:52Home.
00:04:12Hello, darling.
00:04:13How is everyone?
00:04:14Oh, all right.
00:04:15You behaving yourself?
00:04:16I've not broken nothing.
00:04:18Good boy.
00:04:35What's everybody up to?
00:04:37Marge is out in the yard.
00:04:39Dolph is peeling spuds.
00:04:41What about the others?
00:04:43Francis is cleaning her trolley, and Fella is sitting on the steps.
00:04:48What about her lot?
00:04:50Laura's dead, turned yellow. Mrs. Morris is laying him out.
00:04:58Loll's dead.
00:05:02What are you doing?
00:05:03Poor boy, he's gone. Fled to the angels. I was getting him ready for the bar.
00:05:07No, Loll ain't dead. No, Loll ain't dead. No, no.
00:05:09Don't go and mind the baby. Marjorie, go and get the vicar.
00:05:12Now! I'm sentenced down for the doctor.
00:05:15Give me some blankets.
00:05:17Oh, my turn. Oh, my turn.
00:05:39Please hurry.
00:05:47Please, please, please.
00:05:52In the name of God, and trusting in his might alone, receive Christ's healing touch to make you whole.
00:05:58May Christ bring you wholeness of body, mind, and spirit, deliver you from every evil, and bring you his peace. Amen.
00:06:06My son, my son.
00:06:08I came close to death.
00:06:13But somehow, I clung on.
00:06:16For it was a very near thing.
00:06:19A very near thing indeed.
00:06:22See?
00:06:23She's coming.
00:06:26She's coming.
00:06:38My sister Frances was a beautiful, fragile child.
00:06:43Come on.
00:06:45We were full of mischief.
00:06:47And as thick as thieves.
00:06:59Think she'll be a while.
00:07:02Here it is.
00:07:03A murdered cadaver will be shockingly uncovered.
00:07:17What a cadaver?
00:07:19I think it's kind of bird.
00:07:22I think.
00:07:30Barman's been in again.
00:07:34Our two old neighbors were rival ancients.
00:07:38Her up atop they called Granny Trill.
00:07:43Keep it down, you great troll.
00:07:47And her down under was Granny Wallen.
00:07:49You could be down up there, you great boar!
00:08:03You miserable trout!
00:08:13We had a feeling that the summer would never end.
00:08:17Never varmint.
00:08:20All sights twice brilliant and smells twice sharp.
00:08:25Come on!
00:08:26Or games twice as long.
00:08:31It seemed that here no disasters could happen,
00:08:35that nothing could ever touch us.
00:08:47I've never been as bad as this before.
00:09:02It's cruel. Poor little mite.
00:09:06Don't you fret?
00:09:09He always fights back.
00:09:12Come on.
00:09:14Just leave him be.
00:09:15I'll make sure you're all right, lol.
00:09:17I'll make sure you're all right, lol.
00:09:21I'll make sure you're all right, lol.

00:09:27I'll make sure you're all right, lol.
00:09:31I'll make sure you're all right, lol.
00:11:05Hey, darling.
00:11:12I've got you some lovely thin bread and butter to go with it.
00:11:16Hey, darling, that's because you haven't eaten in a week.
00:11:26Hey, look, just don't eat it too fast, because you'll make yourself sick.
00:11:31Hey, I'm going to walk into Stroud later on.
00:11:40I'm going to buy you a paint box.
00:11:44Maybe some licorice.
00:11:46Do you like that?
00:11:47See that?
00:11:48Everyone's been asking about you.
00:11:50See that?
00:11:52Where's Francis?
00:12:00We buried her yesterday.
00:12:13Because of me?
00:12:15No, darling.
00:12:17No.
00:12:18No, you mustn't think that.
00:12:21You mustn't understand me.
00:12:22I'm sorry.
00:12:32Sorry.
00:12:32Francis died suddenly, silently.
00:12:54hers was a death which would never have happened like so many children at the time
00:13:01I've always believed she gave me her life
00:13:06something so precious I would live it to the full

00:26:25Looking for someone.

00:27:21We'd better be off.
00:27:22Say goodbye to James.
00:27:29Bye, James.
00:27:33You take care.
00:27:35You're here.
00:27:35We were green and innocent, not fully understanding what we did, imitating the rituals and roles
00:27:55that were played out before us.
00:27:57Was Archduke Franz Ferdinand assassinated, class?
00:28:01In which country?
00:28:02Class?
00:28:04Ow.
00:28:05What do you think you were doing?
00:28:08Spadge Hopkins, sit up straight.
00:28:10As straight as I get.
00:28:12And you can settle down, Miss Burdock.
00:28:14Hopkins, sit up now.
00:28:15I am, Miss.
00:28:17Tell us which city Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated.
00:28:24So?
00:28:26Dunno.
00:28:27London.
00:28:34Sarajevo.
00:28:37And why was this act of aggression such an important moment?
00:28:42Well, he was dead.
00:28:45That was important for him, I suppose.
00:28:47And for the rest of us?
00:28:52Come on, Puddinghead.
00:28:53Better watch it.
00:28:54What can you tell us?
00:28:55Nothing.
00:28:58Because you don't know nothing.
00:29:00You're a great slate chin.
00:29:03Know nothing.
00:29:04Sod it all.
00:29:06Where are you going, young man?
00:29:07It's any business of yours.
00:29:09Get back in your chair this instant.
00:29:10I won't have it.
00:29:11I won't have it.
00:29:11Hello.
00:29:12No.
00:29:12I won't have it.
00:29:13You're going nowhere.
00:29:16Put me down.
00:29:17Put me down.
00:29:22Help me get down.
00:29:23Someone help me get down.
00:29:25Three teams.
00:29:26Spadge Hopkins.
00:29:27Put me down.
00:29:28Put me down.
00:29:29Put me down.
00:29:30Put me down.
00:29:30I won't have it.
00:29:31I won't have it.
00:29:33Oh, all the woods and the meadows, woods where we hid from the wet, styles where we stayed
00:29:59to be kind, meadows in which we met.
00:30:04Light so low in the veil, you flash and lighten afar, for this is the golden morning of love,
00:30:11and you are his morning star.
00:30:15Flash, I am coming.
00:30:17I come by meadow and style and wood.
00:30:20Oh, lighten into my eyes and my heart, and into my heart and my blood.
00:30:26Heart, are you great enough for a love that never tires?
00:30:30Oh, heart, are you great enough for love?
00:30:33I have heard of thorns and briars, over the thorns and briars, over the meadows and styles,
00:30:39over the world to the end of it.
00:30:40Flash of a million miles.
00:30:45What was that all about?
00:30:47What do you think?
00:30:49Loving that.
00:30:50It kind of goes on and on.
00:30:52Nothing lasts forever.
00:30:54But it don't.
00:30:56What about you and Joe?
00:30:58Shut up.
00:30:58Not Joe Jenkins.
00:31:00Look at his flushing.
00:31:01She's nothing or no one.
00:31:03He's been pining for her.
00:31:04Hey, Jack, now leave him be.
00:31:06Joe, I love you.
00:31:07Joe, I want to marry you.
00:31:08I told you to shut up.
00:31:10No, no, no.
00:31:11No, no, no.
00:31:11No, no, no.
00:31:11No, no, no.
00:31:12No, no, no, no.
00:31:13No, no, no, no.
00:31:14No, no, no, no.
00:31:14Stop it.
00:31:15Stop it now.
00:31:16Stop it.
00:31:17Pa might arrive any minute.
00:31:21That's enough.
00:31:22Stand up, the pair of you.
00:31:27What will your father think if he comes home and finds you like this?
00:31:30He'll think we've descended into anarchy.
00:31:33I've got upstairs, the pair of you.
00:31:35The war had ended long ago, but our father still had not returned to live with us.
00:31:55Are you going to play that for your dad?
00:31:57If he likes.
00:31:58Of course he will.
00:32:00Lovely, Ez.
00:32:00It is.
00:32:03What time did he say?
00:32:04There was the occasional promise of a visit, and each time we attended dutifully, lest we
00:32:11shake our mother's faith.
00:32:12All he says is bringing home old leg of lamb.
00:32:15We'll have a time of it tonight.
00:32:17It'll be lovely.
00:32:21Lal, I think that's enough practicing for now.
00:32:23You haven't finished yet.
00:32:24No, but I think that's enough.
00:32:30Lal!
00:32:39Hello, Grandma.
00:32:41He's been kept back in London, but he sends his best to you all.
00:33:34A serious drought hit the country.
00:33:42Springs dried up.
00:33:44Wells filled with frogs.
00:33:47Trees shriveled.
00:33:49Crops burned in the fields.
00:33:52Small, naked winds blow over our faces.
00:33:57Dandelion seeds floated by.
00:34:01Burned sap and roast nettles tingle down nostrils.
00:34:06Together with the dull rust smell of dry ground.
00:34:11There's none coming, Mark.
00:34:15Oh, Lord, my darling.
00:34:17Come here.
00:34:20Dog, get some more coming, love.
00:34:24Well, we've got much, have we?
00:34:25No.
00:34:27Right, then.
00:34:28Right.
00:34:29Come on, then.
00:34:29Here you are, missus.
00:34:30Try this in for size.
00:34:32Granny Wallen!
00:34:32It's the first of my last year's coastlit wine.
00:34:36Oh, you don't be giving them too much, though, Granny Wallen, because they'll have a funny turn.
00:34:39Oh, conduct yourselves with some dignity, else you shan't be getting nothing.
00:34:45Think you've learned your manners from her up atop?
00:34:51Oh, did you hear him, missus?
00:34:54The screeched bird?
00:34:56Last night it was.
00:34:58And the night before that?
00:35:01Oh, I can't say I did, Granny Wallen.
00:35:03You mark my words, her up atop is going.
00:35:06You mark my words, this heat will have her.
00:35:09Is there something wrong with her?
00:35:12Not right, that's for certain.
00:35:15Here, don't look so sour, you.
00:35:17You're so worried.
00:35:20Run this up to her.
00:35:32Is that you again, Barman?
00:35:36I want a visit.
00:35:37Well, just mind my pots or I'll cut you to pieces.
00:35:40Brought you some wine.
00:35:42From her down under.
00:35:45Poison, it'll be.
00:35:46No, it ain't.
00:35:56That's awful stuff.
00:35:58I'll take it back, then.
00:35:59No, no, no.
00:36:01I'll take it.
00:36:01Might make use of it.
00:36:04Scour in the pots.
00:36:09You going bald?
00:36:11Bald?
00:36:12Rubber.
00:36:14I only got my bits.
00:36:16Look at the dead stuff dropping off your a cone.
00:36:19That's healthy, that is.
00:36:22Just making room for more.
00:36:28Her down under.
00:36:29I got more'n her.
00:36:32I got more'n her.
00:36:36Her's as bald as a tater root.
00:36:40Wicked old lump.
00:36:48I'll see her gone.
00:36:54Her's failing.
00:36:56You mark my words.
00:37:00They're soldiers.
00:37:01Let's run, let's run, let's run, let's run, let's run, let's run, let's run, let's run, let's run, let's run, let's run, let's run, let's run.
00:37:10Soldiers with rifles marched to the top of the hills and began shooting at passing clouds.
00:37:35Hoping that bursting them might bring rain.
00:37:46Don't get too close to home.
00:37:50I command you're going to see us, I'll draw in the woods.
00:37:53Shhh, come on.
00:37:58Whether from prayers, or shooting, or from a simple returner of nature, the drought broke soon after, and it began to rain as it had never rained before.
00:38:18Sweet saints above!
00:38:22Incovenbit!
00:38:25Rainfroves!
00:38:26Incovenbit!

00:47:32What are you, Mr. T?
00:47:35Hi, Jerry.
00:47:46Where'd you buy that?
00:47:47It's broken.
00:47:48When I worked up at Gaveston Court, I always dreamed of owning one of these.
00:47:53Now I got one, just a bit of glue, it'll be fine.
00:47:58Look out, that's all broken chain, am I?
00:48:01So, have you been giving that rosy bird off the run around then?
00:48:06Nothing doing.
00:48:08I remember when you two were little.
00:48:11You know, you pushed her in the fire.
00:48:13It wasn't burning, of course.
00:48:15Shame.
00:48:17It was a path of true love.
00:48:21Can I ask you something?
00:48:23You just did, didn't you?
00:48:30How'd you meet Dad?
00:48:33Well...
00:48:37I was working in your grandad's pub at the time.
00:48:40And there was an advert in the newspaper.
00:48:42Widower, four children, six housekeeper.
00:48:46That was it.
00:48:50I got lucky with these four.
00:48:52They took to me straight away.
00:48:54You know, which was hard, considering they'd just lost their mother.
00:48:59Good as gold they were.
00:49:00And I had Francis.
00:49:01Jack.
00:49:02And you came along.
00:49:03Me.
00:49:04First four years of us together is just magic.
00:49:06I do love him, you know.
00:49:08I do love him.
00:49:09I do love him.
00:49:10I do love him.
00:49:11I do love him, you know.
00:49:14The year revolved around the village.
00:49:16The festivals around the year.
00:49:18The squire around the festivals.
00:49:19The squire around the festivals.
00:49:20And the village around the squire.
00:49:21The squire's been good to visit this year.
00:49:22The parochial church team.
00:49:23The parochial church team.
00:49:24I'm so proud of you.
00:49:25I'm so glad that I'm going to have to see all the jazz possible voices on the
00:49:27dishes.
00:49:28Very friendly.
00:49:29They're amazing.
00:49:30I knew they were like the wind.
00:49:31Kind of me.
00:49:32They're new.
00:49:33I knew they were coming out.
00:49:34I knew they were coming out.
00:49:35I knew you were coming back.
00:49:36All we are coming back.
00:49:37More fun!
00:49:38The year revolved around the village, the festivals around the year, the squire around the festivals, and the village around the squire.
00:49:49The squire's been good to visit this year.
00:49:50The parochial church tea...
00:49:52No, don't peck.
00:49:53...and annual entertainment was his winter treat.
00:49:56We practiced enough. It'll go all right.
00:50:00You two on tonight, then?
00:50:01Should be good for a laugh.
00:50:04Leave some for the rest of us.
00:50:09The parochial church tea...
00:50:12...is with us again, I suggest.
00:50:19Another year...
00:50:21Another year comes around...
00:50:24...when I see you gathered here once more.
00:50:28When I see...
00:50:30...when I think...
00:50:32And here you all are.
00:50:36It comes to me...
00:50:38Friends...
00:50:41...you've lost it.
00:50:44Stop it!
00:50:45What are you?
00:50:46Shh!
00:50:47Once again...
00:50:48Thank you, squire, once again for such a generous feast.
00:51:00Thank you, squire, once again for such a generous feast.
00:51:04Now...
00:51:05Not yet...
00:51:07Rosie Burdock, that means you too.
00:51:11We must wait...
00:51:13...to say grace.
00:51:15Oh, bountiful Father...
00:51:19We thank thee...
00:51:21...for our daily bread...
00:51:22...for our daily bread...
00:51:23...and our strength...
00:51:24...and our fresh armor...
00:51:26...and we pray this...
00:51:28...nourish our soul...
00:51:30Amen.
00:51:31Amen.
00:51:32Amen.
00:51:33Amen.
00:51:34Amen.
00:51:35Amen.
00:51:36Carry on.
00:51:37Excuse me, waiter.
00:51:38Yes, mom.
00:51:39What is the meaning of this fly in my tea?
00:51:44I wouldn't know.
00:51:45I wouldn't know.
00:51:46I'm not a fortune teller.
00:51:47Oh.
00:51:48And my soup tastes funny.
00:51:49Well, why aren't you laughing then?
00:51:50Well, why aren't you laughing then?
00:51:51For the next item, ladies and gentlemen, we have an instrumental duet...
00:52:01...by Miss Jenkins and young Laurie Lee.
00:52:04What is the meaning of this fly in my tea?
00:52:06I wouldn't know.
00:52:07I'm not a fortune teller.
00:52:10And my soup tastes funny.
00:52:12Well, why aren't you laughing then?
00:52:14A instrumental duet by Miss Jenkins and young Laurie Lee.
00:52:33Get on with it.
00:52:44The hearts are calling from them to them and down the mountainside.
00:53:02The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying, till it seems it's him who must grow and I must find.
00:53:22The glory of the summer's in the meadow, oh, when the valley's bush and white with snow.
00:53:41Tis how we live, in sunshine or in shadow, oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, I love you so.
00:54:09Can you do it first?
00:54:15I'll take it.
00:54:16You're a great, lol.
00:54:19Yeah, good and lol.
00:54:21Do you know what I suppose?
00:54:23Ah, where's Jill?
00:54:25Probably with the other babies.
00:54:27Right then, are we going up there or not?
00:54:29I'm up for it.
00:54:30Well, how about it?
00:54:31Where are you off to then?
00:54:33Going by Bulls Cross.
00:54:34Harry Ladsby seen the Phantom Coach two nights ago.
00:54:36There ain't no Phantom Coach.
00:54:38All right, if you're scared.
00:54:41I ain't.
00:54:42And I got no wine gums neither, if that's what you're after.
00:54:45You're lost.
00:54:46They said I'd wait for Joe.
00:54:48Wasting your time with goody two shoes.
00:54:51Get a shift on.
00:54:52I'll leave him behind if you ain't coming.
00:54:54Well, I had it with this.
00:54:56Go on to your mar if you're too scared.
00:54:59All right then.
00:55:00Wait up.
00:55:01I ain't waiting.
00:55:02Slow and lazy, Lee.
00:55:03Bulls Cross was an ancient staging post that cast up beasts and spirits.
00:55:06Anyone else hear that?
00:55:07That was nothing.
00:55:08Just now.
00:55:09We were afraid to go up there at night.
00:55:10Which is probably why we did it so often.
00:55:11You hear what they say about the Phantom Coach.
00:55:12Anyone who sets eyes upon it.
00:55:13be cursed to die.
00:55:14An horrible death.
00:55:15An horrible death.
00:55:16Mark and Phylos.
00:55:17Martin Phylos saw it.
00:55:19Two weeks left.
00:55:20Marge and Phylos saw it.
00:55:21Two weeks left.
00:55:22Do you know what?
00:55:23I'm sorry.
00:55:24I went to my house.
00:55:25I'm sorry.
00:55:26I'm sorry.
00:55:27I'm sorry.
00:55:28I'm sorry.
00:55:29I'm sorry.
00:55:30I'm sorry.
00:55:31I'm sorry.
00:55:32I'm sorry.
00:55:33I'm sorry.
00:55:34You're sorry.
00:55:35I'm sorry.
00:55:36I'm sorry.
00:55:37But, you know what?
00:55:38He cursed to die.
00:55:40An horrible death.
00:55:44Martin Fowler saw it.
00:55:46Two weeks later, dead.
00:55:49Run over by a coat of horses.
00:55:51Ain't no curse.
00:55:52Martin Fowler was deaf and near blind.
00:55:54I heard the fandom's an old coach driver.
00:55:57One time, his horses got spooked.
00:56:01They bolted, throwing the driver from his seat.
00:56:05His dad was dashed on the rocks.
00:56:07I was not what I heard.
00:56:10There was once a hangman.
00:56:12Used to string up felons from that gibbet.
00:56:15He worked nights.
00:56:17Taken thieves and murderers up to them gallows.
00:56:20Where they'd be young.
00:56:22Till they'd be dead, dead, dead.
00:56:26On Storm Black Knight, he's handed a shivering boy.
00:56:30So he takes this boy up the gallows.
00:56:33Puts a noose around his neck.
00:56:35Pulls the knot tight.
00:56:38A cloud moved from the moon and lit up the gallows.
00:56:42A hangman looked up.
00:56:44To see the face of his own son.
00:56:47Looking back at him.
00:56:51A hangman went home.
00:56:53Drove a nail into the wall and did what he did best.
00:56:56That he haunts his place.
00:57:04We should get out of here.
00:57:07I think like in your horses.
00:57:11Oh.
00:57:12You see that?
00:57:13It's the fun hub.
00:57:17Oh, my God.
00:57:22Oh.
00:57:23It's the fun hub.
00:57:26Oh.
00:57:29Oh.
00:57:29Get on there.
00:57:55There's your phantom.
00:57:59Come on, let's follow him.
00:58:29Look at him.
00:58:46He's a cock of the walk, ain't he?
00:58:47We should go.
00:58:59Come on.
00:59:01Come on.
00:59:03Come on.
00:59:05Come on.
00:59:07Come on.
00:59:09Come on.
00:59:11Come on.
00:59:13Come on.
00:59:15Come on.
00:59:19Come on.
00:59:51Come on, Navy Boat.
00:59:59Give us a minute.
01:00:00What are you playing at?
01:00:02We'll be late for school.
01:00:05What?
01:00:09What?
01:00:18Morning.
01:00:18Did someone attack you in the night?
01:00:23Just shaving.
01:00:23What for?
01:00:24You've got nothing to find.
01:00:26Them's whiskers.
01:00:27Get on.
01:00:28The air's on his chest now.
01:00:30And everywhere else.
01:00:31Leave him be.
01:00:36Ma?
01:00:38If I couldn't see what I just saw.
01:00:41What do you see?
01:00:43He's terrible.
01:00:44What?
01:00:45Come on, run out bleeding mind readers.
01:00:48Don't talk like that.
01:00:50Are you telling us or not?
01:00:54I was...
01:00:55I was just passing the wall pack.
01:00:59And he...
01:01:00He's just lying there.
01:01:02He's just lying there and his eyes are open.
01:01:05I think he's dead.
01:01:16We all knew what had happened.
01:01:19We could taste the violence.
01:01:21Even if we'd not seen it with our own eyes.
01:01:24It was bloody and raw.
01:01:28And more terrifying than anything imagined.
01:01:32Has anyone seen anything?
01:01:34But the men that murdered him...
01:01:37Belonged to the village.
01:01:39And the village looked after their own.
01:01:42What about you, boy?
01:01:42What about you, boy?
01:01:50You know anything?
01:01:56All right, I'll just get him up.
01:01:58The culprits were never punished.
01:02:01But neither we...
01:02:03Nor they...
01:02:05Ever forgot it.
01:02:12Have you seen him?
01:02:19The deserter.
01:02:22A farmer's seen him in the woods.
01:02:27You sure you haven't seen him?
01:02:31Get yourself home, lad.
01:02:33Come on.
01:02:33Come on, man.
01:02:34Come on.
01:02:34Keep your knees.
01:02:37Right, Neil.
01:02:42Why are you sad?
01:02:57Because I miss Frances.
01:03:01What's a deserter?
01:03:05Where'd you hear that word?
01:03:07From a soldier with a red hat on.
01:03:09Oh, Marge, it's too late.
01:03:12There's nothing you can do now, darling.
01:03:14I've got to warn him.
01:03:15This will only break your heart.
01:03:16It's too late.
01:03:18Don't you understand?
01:03:19Of course I understand.
01:03:20Well, then you know why I have to go to him.
01:03:23Oh, darling.
01:03:25Can I go with her to the war?
01:03:27No, love.
01:03:30Oh, sweetheart.
01:03:36Is the war coming to our house?
01:03:39No, sweetheart.
01:03:44We're safe here.
01:04:04Thank you, love.
01:04:09He's safe.
01:04:12For now.
01:04:31Come on, though.
01:04:32Hurry up.
01:04:36Dad, wait up.
01:04:37That summer, mysterious senses clicked into play.
01:04:51Our thighs seemed to burn like dry grass.
01:04:56Emotions swung wildly.
01:04:58And our bodies seemed tilted out of all recognition.
01:05:01We knew what was happening to us.
01:05:06We just didn't know what to do with it.
01:05:10She ain't coming.
01:05:11She's always through after church.
01:05:13Won't she...
01:05:14Mind?
01:05:15Mind?
01:05:16Lizzie's keen.
01:05:17Let us do all you want.
01:05:18All we want?
01:05:19Sure are, love.
01:05:20You show that.
01:05:21Oh, you sure are.
01:05:24She's coming.
01:05:31Go on.
01:05:31All right, there, Lizzie.
01:05:46Hello.
01:05:47What are you doing?
01:05:49Whatever you want us to be doing.
01:05:51Yeah.
01:05:53Go on, then.
01:05:55What do you got in mind?
01:05:56Ow!
01:06:03What do we do now, then?
01:06:05I don't know.
01:06:07Let's go.
01:06:15Ah!
01:06:21Oh!
01:06:21Oh!
01:06:21Oh!
01:06:22Oh!

01:06:23Oh!
01:06:23Oh!
01:06:24Oh!
01:06:24Oh!
01:06:24Oh!
01:06:25Oh!
01:06:26Oh, my God.
01:06:56Oh, my God.
01:07:26So many of my childhood days have been spent prowling slowly around Granny Trill's treasures.
01:07:38Now she was gone.
01:07:40Now we're going for a seat.
01:08:00Now we're going for a seat.
01:08:30Weeks after Granny Trill died, Granny Wallen gave up in her sleep.
01:09:00Now we're going for a seat.
01:09:30Now we're going for a seat.
01:10:00Now we're going for a seat.
01:10:30Now we're going for a seat.
01:10:31Now we're going for a seat.
01:10:32Now we're going for a seat.
01:10:36You coming in, then?
01:10:46It was as though I'd been dipped in hot oil.
01:10:52Stony.
01:10:54Baked, dried and hung throbbing on wires.
01:10:59I know you're going for a seat.
01:11:01I was an unexploded bomb.
01:11:06You coming in, then you're going for a seat.
01:11:07You coming in, then you're going for a seat.
01:11:12You coming in, then you're going for a seat.
01:11:13You coming in, then you're going for a seat.
01:11:22Where's my away with dad it's my love the war is finished

01:11:37It's not a minute longer I only have a minute longer in a while
01:11:41Look at this
01:11:45Will Pa die now the war is over?
01:11:53No, of course he won't
01:11:55So he'll be coming home
01:11:57You've got other people you need already
01:12:03Ma, Doth, Phil and me, we look after you
01:12:08I told you, leave me be
01:12:11The soldier, maybe he's in Pa
01:12:14Oh no

01:12:54The war was over and the end of the world was come
01:13:00Mother that disappeared
01:13:04And I never expected to see another day
01:13:09You went there
01:13:33When the war ended, were you
01:13:36You were in London with Pa
01:13:40You should have seen it
01:13:47Trafalgar Square
01:13:50There were soldiers dancing with girls
01:13:59And there was Reg
01:14:02His uniform
01:14:05His uniform on
01:14:07His hair was just so
01:14:12That night
01:14:16Were magic
01:14:20Magic it were
01:14:23Was that the night he told you?
01:14:30That he wasn't coming back to live with us no more?
01:14:32No, no, he never said that, see
01:14:37Got a job in the civil service
01:14:41And we've never won it for nothing, have we?
01:14:48But we were his family
01:14:50I don't know
01:15:03And he was very nice
01:15:07Got a job
01:15:08Come on
01:15:09Come on

01:15:37You be.
01:15:39Come on, I'll show you.
01:15:41Come on!
01:15:43Unless you're scared.
01:15:48The day Rosy Burdock decided to take me in hand
01:15:59was a motionless day of summer.
01:16:03Creamy, hazy, and amber-colored,
01:16:07with beech trees standing in heavy sunlight
01:16:11as though clogged with wild, wet honey.
01:16:18What do you do, Rosy?
01:16:22I ain't playing no more games.
01:16:23Get under here before someone sees.
01:16:25I was terrified of her.
01:16:27In her eyes, I saw unnatural wisdoms,
01:16:30more threatening than anything I could imagine.
01:16:33What you got there?
01:16:34Fyder.
01:16:39How does it taste?
01:16:42Like...
01:16:44like a fire.
01:16:45Fire.
01:16:48Here, don't drink it all.
01:16:54Okay, finished.
01:16:55Get rid of here.
01:16:58Look.
01:17:07Rosy.
01:17:07I like you better than what can and bony iris.
01:17:17I think you're even for years and baby carpenter.
01:17:23I should hope so.
01:17:24We kissed, so dry and shy,
01:17:37it was like two leaves colliding in air.
01:17:40Paul?
01:17:45Paul?
01:17:50Paul?
01:17:51I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:17:52I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:17:53I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:17:53I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:17:54I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:17:55I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:17:56I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:17:57I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:17:58I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:17:59I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:18:00I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:18:01I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:18:02I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:18:03I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:18:04I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:18:05I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:18:06I like you better than what you do, Paul.
01:18:07You really like me more than Walt?
01:18:28Do I act?
01:18:37You do like me more than Walt.
01:18:43Look at this place.
01:18:44What about it?
01:18:47The hills running together.
01:18:49The trees.
01:18:51The whole valley.
01:18:53You ever feel like you're a part of it?
01:18:56That cider's gone to your head.
01:18:59It's magnificent.
01:19:07I'm no longer going there.
01:19:14I'm sorry, Sam.
01:19:19I'm sorry, Sam.
01:19:25I'm sorry, Sam.
01:19:34You've got your boots on.
01:19:40Don't matter.
01:19:54Timmer.
01:19:57You get home safe, Laurie Lee.
01:20:04Rosie?
01:20:07Rosie?
01:20:09Oh, Rosie.
01:20:11There's something about that evening that dilates the memory.
01:20:16Even now.
01:20:26I was bursting with power and pleasure.
01:20:34I felt valiant, faithful, and for the first time in my life, invulnerable to the perils of night.
01:20:46I was never the same again.
01:20:52I think they're pretty.
01:20:55What are you meant to be?
01:20:57Night?
01:20:58The year after the war ended, we were celebrating peace.
01:21:02Rosie!
01:21:05Don't you look a picture.
01:21:07Oh, my goodness.
01:21:09You both do.
01:21:12All of you.
01:21:16I'm a pervert.
01:21:18You can fly.
01:21:21You've got wings.
01:21:22Then fly.
01:21:26Fly.
01:21:26Fly.
01:21:30Rosie.
01:21:32Rosie.
01:21:34Oh, my.
01:21:34What did you do that for?
01:21:35On that spring day of magical transformation, of tears and dusty sunlight, of brass bands and cakes by the cartload,
01:21:50we couldn't know what the future held for any of us.
01:21:54Pretty joe grew fat with a pains with baker.
01:22:01And Rosie, having baptized me with her ciderous kisses, married a soldier, and I lost her forever.
01:22:11Can you all move over to your right, sir?
01:22:13Keep very still.
01:22:14Suns rose and fell.
01:22:18Years passed almost without us knowing.
01:22:20Now the last days of my family drew near.
01:22:29The girls were grown, and they wished to be gone.
01:22:32You're not leaving.
01:22:33Darth, Phil, she's not leaving.
01:22:35Stay out of this.
01:22:36Put your case down.
01:22:37No.
01:22:38We're getting married.
01:22:40You're not taking us.
01:22:41It's time, Ma.
01:22:43You can't keep her here forever, Mrs. Lee.
01:22:48Who do you think you're talking to?
01:22:50Huh?
01:22:53Mother!
01:22:53You're not taking us!
01:22:54You're not taking us!
01:22:54You're not taking us!
01:22:55You're not taking us!
01:22:56You're not taking us!
01:22:57Stop it!
01:22:58Stop it!
01:22:59Stop it!
01:22:59Stop it!
01:22:59Stop it!
01:22:59Stop it!
01:23:02I cannot be without him!
01:23:06We're in love.
01:23:10Do you think I don't understand about love?
01:23:12He had tried to carry off her willing sister, and we had all of us very near killed him.
01:23:21Aw, come here.
01:23:23Oh, me darling.
01:23:24Oh.
01:23:25It's okay.
01:23:26You're right.
01:23:27There we go.
01:23:27Can you sit down?
01:23:28Come here, me darling.
01:23:30Oh, Marge.
01:23:32Oh, Marge.
01:23:33Come here.
01:23:34I'm not.
01:23:34I'll see you next time.
01:23:35Oh.
01:23:36Oh.
01:23:37Oh.
01:23:37Oh.
01:23:38Oh, my God.
01:23:39Oh, my God.
01:23:43Oh.
01:24:14And that's me then.
01:24:44Do you remember Blackbirds and Threshers?
01:24:47Yeah.
01:24:48It was your dad's favorite.
01:24:51He had to get me to sing it all the time.
01:24:53The three or four years my mother spent with my father, she fed on for the rest of her life.
01:25:12She raised his two families faithfully and alone.
01:25:21And for 30 years she clung to one fantasy, that he might one day return to her.
01:25:28But he never did.
01:25:32With his heart full of yearning, he found his dear Mary all dead in her grave.
01:25:44He cried, I am forsaken, my poor heart is breaking.
01:25:52I wish that I never left this fair maid.
01:26:12You're my soldier.
01:26:24Off you go then.
01:26:26Sit up straight.
01:26:31Off you go.
01:26:32Go on.
01:26:33My mother loved this world and saw it fresh with hopes that never clouded.
01:26:51She was an artist, a light giver, and an original.
01:26:56And she never, for a moment, knew it.
01:27:08As for me, I was 19 years old.
01:27:14Still soft at the edges, but with a confident belief in good fortune.
01:27:20I was vain glorious, full of raging excitement, knowing I had far to go.
01:27:33I left behind a village life that was soon to break, dissolve, and scatter.
01:27:42The valley would change forever.
01:27:45And so would I.
01:27:46I felt doomed.
01:27:52And of all things, wonderful.
01:27:55Wonderful.
