Only the Sky is Higher

1940. Josie Banks helplessly watches her life crumble: her husband Stan has gone to the front, their home turned to rubble after the bombing, and the owner of the tea room where Josie worked was killed under the ruins… The... young woman miraculously survived but is left without money and a roof over her head. Like thousands of other evacuated Londoners, Josie heads to the countryside and ends up in the mansion of the aristocrat Miss Harcourt, who is not at all pleased that she has been 'crowded'. However, Miss Harcourt does allow Josie to open a tea room in her house, and here the girl meets Mike Johnson, a Canadian pilot from the nearby military airbase. A feeling instantly ignites between the young people, but Josie still believes it's impossible to leave her unloved Stan.
Even far from the bombings, in the sleepy village, one cannot hide from dangers, and the girl must overcome a whole series of difficult trials.
