The story

In London in 1940, Catrin Cole is hired by the Ministry of Information to help write scripts for propaganda films. Her male colleagues need her to craft realistic dialogue for female characters, but they pay her less than a man's wage and refuse to credit her. Her husband Ellis – a war artist, Spanish Civil War veteran, and volunteer air raid warden – seems indifferent to her achievement in getting the job.
