📝 Plot:
On the eve of World War I, a cavalry officer engages in a cynical seduction as part of a bet, believing love to be a game without consequence. What begins as manipulation slowly turns into genuine emotion, forcing him to confront honor, responsibility, and the cost of emotional cruelty. A refined romantic drama where personal desire collides with looming historical tragedy.

Birmingham city centre was largely destroyed by heavy bombing in the Second World War, and has both suffered through and benefited from extensive reconstruction since.

This #map was published in 1905 and thus shows #Birmingham well before the bombing or any modern changes.

Bears Mentioning Dept : In #Prewar #Germany there was an abundance of enthusiasm ( including what would amount to likely seven out of ten #TechBros in the US today) that were assured everything would go swimmingly. By the end of the #War over half of them were dead. This is, to put it mildly, mostly not swimming
