Storia
Parade's End unfolds during World War I against the backdrop of societal upheaval in Europe. Christopher Tietjens, a conservative English aristocrat and top civil servant from a wealthy background, finds his marriage to Sylvia, a mean socialite, crumbling almost immediately after their nuptials. Despite Sylvia's numerous affairs, Chris remains honorably devoted to her for some time until he falls in love with another woman, Valentine Wannop, a young suffragette. Meanwhile, Chris struggles with shell shock and partial memory loss as a result of his wartime experiences.
Riassunto
Adapted from Ford Madox Ford's novel tetralogy of the same name, Parade's End is a period drama that explores themes of love, infidelity, class, and social change amidst the turmoil of World War I. The story follows Christopher Tietjens, an honorable yet troubled man navigating his complicated marriage and romantic entanglements while also dealing with the psychological aftermath of war. The miniseries provides insight into the societal shifts occurring during this period, particularly through Valentine's suffragette activism.
