This film was proposed by one of the local primary schools, St Clement Danes.
Based on the award-winning book by acclaimed British author and illustrator Raymond Briggs (The Snowman), this beautifully hand-drawn, animated feature film tells the true story of Raymond’s own parents – Ethel and Ernest - two ordinary Londoners living through a period of extraordinary events and immense social change.
Heart-warming, humorous and bittersweet, the film follows the lives of lady’s maid Ethel and milkman Ernest from their first chance meeting in 1928. Living in London their entire lives, Ethel and Ernest endure two world wars, and witness incredible shifts in society. Echoing the lives and concerns of the London working classes through momentous social and political change, Ethel & Ernest is a heartfelt and affectionate tribute to an ordinary couple and an extraordinary generation.
