Autumn Alley

Life in London's East End unfolds through the lives of a handful of families living in one street. Maud, a fierce Irish-American campaigner for women's votes, brings her convictions into the neighbourhood. Patricia carries the scars of a difficult childhood and is drawn into a risky romance. Colleen is bright and full of energy, while Mary tries to hold her household together alongside a husband who cannot be relied on. Arfer, clever and driven, is determined to escape the poverty that surrounds him. Their stories cross and collide, showing how hope and hardship share the same cramped streets.
