Goodnight, Mister Tom
We're in a small English village on the eve of the evacuation of Dunkirk. "Mr. Tom" Oakley still mourns the loss of his wife and small son while he was away in the navy during WWI, and his grief has turned him into a grumpy hermit. Children who have been evacuated from London are now outnumbering volunteers who are attempting to house them. Mr. Tom takes in a painfully quiet 10-year-old who gradually reveals major issues, almost against his will.
