Durante la II Guerra Mundial, una compañía de cine de Londres recibe el encargo de hacer una película optimista para levantar la moral de la población. Necesitan que la historia tenga un "toque femenino" y deciden incorporar a una mujer al extravagante grupo de guionistas. Así llega la gran oportunidad para Catrin Cole, una joven secretaria que se convierte en una pieza esencial para crear una gran película e inspirar a toda una nación. (A Contracorriente Films)

The “tear-jerker” category demonstrates its animacy beyond the surviving gender formulas. Their Finest brings to the classic love triangle a motif of emancipation, which conditions the reversal of clichés and roles that are ascribed to characters on the basis of gender. The plotline about the promotion of women in positions and in sectors previously awarded to men corresponds to this. Through well-developed male characters, the film also offers identification models for the male part of the audience, the result of which is a spectacle in which everyone can weep in an emancipated way.

I like how romance is just a peripheral part of this story. It's much more about the main heroine, about history, and simply about the story being told here. Which is a good combination, because a protruding romantic plane wouldn't have worked so well here. Moreover, the casting deserves appreciation; it's fantastic.
