John Boorman's semi-autobiographical film follows nine-year-old Bill as he navigates growing up in London during World War II. For a young boy, the Blitz was an exhilarating experience, a time of chaos and liberation that shook the traditional norms and rules of his life. The film explores the impact of the war on the women left behind and the sense of joy that came with witnessing the destruction of his school, courtesy of Hitler's bombs.
