Movie Synopsis
Synopsis
Photos in the Attic is a compelling romance that follows the
heart-wrenching story of a soldier caught between the love of two women. The
tale is brought to life with the discovery in France of the Thuillier photos from
WW1 taken in Vignacourt. These images hold answers to some questions raised
by a current day character VALERIE BERNARD, a village local.
We go back in time and meet ROSIE MARCHAND leaving her hometown of
Albert on the Somme. A survivor of the war, she finds shelter in the home of her
cousin, photographer LOUIS THUILLIER, a shell-shocked veteran of Verdun
who with his wife ANTOINETTE takes pictures of soldiers behind the lines.
For Australian BILL FOSTER the war is a far away adventure where he is
driven to go and join his brother who is already there. He is in love with
ISABELLA DE LUCA, a passionate Queensland woman. MICK DE
LUCA, cane farmer and Isabella’s father fights with Bill constantly for
Isabella’s attention. JIMMY WALTON, Bill’s indigenous mate, enlists
in the army also and they both go off to war together.
In the Vignacourt hospital an injured Bill meets Nurse Rosie.
Bill cannot understand why Isabella has not written him any
letters. This along with his brother being declared dead and
Jimmy being killed in battle brings Bill to the verge of a
complete breakdown. Rosie is his strength during this time
and she nurses him back to health. Their feelings for each
other deepen. As the war ends, Bill makes a difficult
decision to return home. This devastates Rosie, they
part in anger. Bill returns to Childers and finds that his
whole life has fallen apart there. Isabella was pregnant
and both mother and baby died during birth. Will Bill’s hatred for
De Luca rise to the surface? What is his future? Is it in Australia or France
and does it feature Rosie? How do the photos found in the attic tie Bill and
Valerie Bernard’s lives together?
