    Holky z loděnice
    • Sunderland, 1940. Velká Británie je ve válce a do loděnic poprvé nastupují i ženy, aby své vlasti pomohly. Polly se nikdy ani nesnilo, že bude moci pokračovat v rodinné tradici a pracovat v loděnicích jako muži, ale časy jsou těžké a nová práce jí nakonec dá víc, než by kdy čekala. V docích totiž potká tajemného Tommyho Wattse. Hlavní svářečka Rosie zase žije dvojí život. Přes den zaučuje hejno mladých stážistek novému řemeslu, ovšem v noci… A Gloria se přihlásila, aby unikla svému brutálnímu manželovi. Před vlastními problémy ji však žádný útěk ani práce nezachrání. Všechny se potkají až v loděnicích, ale i když přišly z úplně jiných světů, ta nejpevnější pouta se vytváří v těch nejtěžších časech…
