Lilies

From the BBC, the saga of three sisters struggling to bloom in 1920 s Liverpool Meet the Moss girls- my lilies," as their father calls them-three young women finding their way through life in working-class Liverpool just after World War I. Dutiful, devout Iris runs the household efficiently in place of their deceased mother. Wayward, dreamy May works as a maid but longs to act in films. And feisty, ambitious Ruby sells corsets to keep the family afloat. With their overbearing father and war-tormented brother, they struggle through poverty, passions, and profound disappointments-sustained always by the irrepressible spirit of family. Tough, sexy, funny, and heartbreaking, Lilies unsparingly depicts the often brutal realities of life in 1920 s Britain, the bleak choices facing impoverished young women, and the fortifying power of love in its many forms. Starring Kerrie Hayes, Leanne Rowe, Catherine Tyldesley, Brian McCardie, and Daniel Rigby.
