Story
In the future, Great Britain finds itself embroiled in a devastating civil war with its neighboring countries. As part of an effort to bolster its forces, the government establishes a program to recruit women into special combat units. The film follows these women as they are sent to a remote island to serve as companions to soldiers who have been scarred by their experiences in the war.
Summary
Woundings is a 1998 drama directed by Roberta Hanley that blends elements of science fiction and military narratives. Set against the backdrop of a hypothetical future civil war, the film explores the emotional complexities of its female protagonists who are recruited to serve alongside combat-hardened soldiers on a remote island. While the plot hints at a larger conflict and the existence of these specialized units, it primarily focuses on the interpersonal relationships and psychological underpinnings of the women involved.
