Ethel & Ernest 2016

Adapted from Raymond Briggs' graphic novel, it tells the story of Briggs' parents Ethel and Ernest over a 50-year period from the late 1920s onwards that encompasses Raymond's birth, the Second World War, the creation of the welfare state, the post-war age of austerity and the relative affluence of the 60s. Ethel and Ernest accept misfortune with stoicism and are modest when luck is on their side.
