Since You Went Away

This poignant epic drama follows the lives of an upper-middle-class Midwestern family whose patriarch has been called up to war, leaving behind his wife and two teenage daughters as they struggle to cope with their changed circumstances and make their own contributions to the war effort in 1943. As food rationing, planting a victory garden, and other sacrifices take their toll, the family must come together to support each other, forming unexpected bonds along the way. With its powerful performances from Claudette Colbert and Jennifer Jones, this film offers a somber yet hopeful portrayal of the human spirit during wartime.
