Cider with Rosie
Adaptation of Laurie Lee's memoir of growing up in the Slad Valley during and after WWI, exploring the idyll of his early years and the intensity of adolescent experiences. A semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story set in the Cotswolds during and immediately after the First World War. Far more important to Loll's schooldays are the captivating Burdock sisters, Jo and Rosie, and, as he grows into adolescence and beyond, eventually leaving home to seek his fortune, he samples the delights of cider with Rosie.
