Based on the beloved World War I memoir by Vera Brittain (Alicia Vikander) and heralded as the voice of a generation, Testament of Youth presents the classic insight into the war from an extraordinary woman's point of view.

1914. Vera--youthful, free-minded and irrepressible, is determined to sit exams for Oxford, against her conservative parents' wishes. She is encouraged and inspired by her brother and friends, particularly the brilliant Roland Leighton (Kit Harrington). Her hopes for Oxford with Roland turn to dust as war is declared and all the young men enlist. Vera gives up her dreams of writing to become a nurse, and as those closest to her perish on the frontlines, she experiences the futility of war. Determined to find a new purpose, Vera returns to give voice to a lost generation and produce one of the defining memoirs of the age--Testament of Youth is a powerful story of love, war, loss and remembrance.
