至此一年内容简介
纳粹的轰炸机随时会来。每一个皎洁的月夜，伦敦人都祈祷自己能活下来。
1940年，英国前途未卜，丘吉尔在至暗时刻开启了他的首相生涯。尽管纳粹步步紧逼，民众依然捍卫着他们的日常生活，并以此为武器与丘吉尔内阁并肩作战。他们在灯火管制的夜晚谈情说爱，戴着防毒面具去听音乐会，在一片废墟的校园里完成学位授予仪式，在敌机呼啸中享受一杯杯热茶。
丘吉尔一家也不例外。在处理政务之余，他们也在为儿子破裂的婚姻头疼，为懵懵懂懂便答应了别人求婚的女儿担忧，也为在家庭裂痕中降生的小孙子送上祝福。
生活从未停下，人们在守望与坚持中等来了出人意料的转机。

Brief introduction to this year's content
The Nazi bombers will be here any minute. Every bright moonlit night, Londoners pray that they will survive.
In 1940, with Britain's future uncertain, Churchill began his premiership at the darkest hour. Despite the Nazi advance, the people defended their daily lives and used it as a weapon to fight alongside Churchill's cabinet. They make love in blackouts at night, wear gas masks to concerts, complete degree-conferring ceremonies on a ruined campus, and enjoy cups of hot tea as enemy planes roar.
The Churchills were no exception. Apart from dealing with government affairs, they are also worried about their son's broken marriage, their daughter who unknowingly agreed to someone else's proposal, and their little grandson who was born in the family rift.
Life never stopped, people in the watch and insist on waiting for an unexpected turn.
