Summer 1916. Following a shrapnel injury to his shoulder, WWI Captain Edward Beaumont returns home to his devoted fiancée’s estate. Yet the peaceful convalescence he longs for is unsettled not only by the disturbing effects of shellshock, but also a new presence on the estate – one that awakens forbidden emotions he thought he buried in the trenches. Over a series of encounters, he grows close with new farmhand, Sam, and battles the boundary between duty and desire. Exploring war trauma and queer romance, Lavender is a must-see for history enthusiasts and fans of original queer media.
