Synopsis

1916, Scotland. Five years after leading a strike at the sewing factory, newly pregnant Ellen is rushed off her feet at the Clydebank Clothing Exchange. Ellen is missing her husband and worried about how to make ends meet. Meanwhile, her best friend Sadie is hiding a heart-breaking secret. Rachel, Ellen's 17-year-old sister, has signed up as a munitions worker at the former sewing factory. Together with the other women nicknamed 'the munitionettes' she finds fun and friendship as they start a local football team. When Ellen returns to the factory to earn money for her growing family, she clashes with Sadie, who is angry about the working conditions. Several of the women and their babies are falling ill, despite assurances from management that the factory is safe. As the war rages on, can the women help each other cope through the difficult times ahead?
