Bride Flight

BRIDE FLIGHT is a lavish romantic epic charting the lives of three women from different backgrounds, forever changed after a historic KLM flight from London to New Zealand. Eager to escape the gloom of post-war Holland, shy but sensual farm girl Ada, dogmatic Marjorie, and Jewish fashion designer Esther fast become friends during the 1953 air race that carried the brides-to-be to their fiancés in New Zealand. Also on board is Frank, a hunky bachelor who becomes inextricably linked to the trio over the span of 50 years. All try to escape the past, but it will eventually overcome them all. Sumptuous photography, inspired casting (including a rare cameo by Rutger Hauer), and the fine direction of Ben Sombogaart (Oscar-nominated Twin Sisters) create an absorbing melodrama. The most expensive Dutch film ever made, BRIDE FLIGHT is based on the bestselling novel by Marieke van der Pol.
