The Flood, set in the battlefields of WW1, recreates the unimaginable horror of the conflict with an explicit depiction of the slaughter of millions of soldiers torn from their ordinary lives to fight in the most hellishly squalid conditions and daily terror endured by man. A parallel love story explores the devastating effects on the women who loved those men. As the insanity of war intensifies, it follows an emerging relationship between an infantryman and the woman whose love gives him hope. The drama switches between the visceral horror of war, to their increasingly passionate yet ultimately tragic love affair.
