Wish You Were Here (1987)
Set against the backdrop of a conservative English seaside town post-World War II, Lynda navigates adolescence with a fierce rebellious streak. Growing up with her widowed father and younger sister, she defies societal norms by openly expressing her sexuality and experimenting with relationships. By the age of sixteen, Lynda’s quest for freedom leads her to provocative encounters, ultimately resulting in an unexpected pregnancy with a man connected to her father. Her journey explores the tension between desire and societal expectations in a time when such liberation was often frowned upon.
