During the Second World War, life in the iconic Bryant & May match factory is grimy and tough.

Annie, Rose, Pearl and Millie carry on making matches for the British Army, with bombs raining down around them.

In the darkest of times, the girls find their allotment a tranquil, happy escape. Using pierced dustbin lids to sieve through the shrapnel and debris, they bring about a powerful change, not just in the factory but in their own lives.
