It was written and directed by Christopher Saul, who based it on tape recordings he made in 1969 of his grandmother Florence Smith's recollections of her Victorian childhood, her marriage to a man seriously wounded in the First World War, her struggle to feed three hungry children in the 1930s and her experiences of the London Blitz.
