处女报告

　　World War II is around the corner, but the only thing Sally Bauer can think of is the ocean. Her dream is to swim across the English Channel. Her father has tried to exorcise her obsession with swimming since she was a toddler, without success. An unwanted pregnancy forces her to abandon her dream – and herself. The child’s father does not want to be involved, so as a woman in the ‘30s in Sweden, Sally has no choice but to do what is expected of her: to be a mother. There is no place left for her dreams and Sally is pulled into bottomless darkness, until her sister Carla saves her. With renewed purpose, together the sisters begin to dismantle the conventions they are constantly facing. In late August 1939, Sally stands on the shore at Dover and takes her first step into the English Channel. She swims across the open and icy sea for 15 hours, waving to the Navy who are readying for war. A couple of days after Sally swims ashore at Calais, Poland is invaded.

 来自与世隔绝的宗教社区的妇女们努力使她们的现实与她们的信仰相协调。通过背景故事，我们看到一个妇女社区聚集在一起，研究如何共同前进，为她们自己和她们的孩子建立一个更美好的世界。要么留下来战斗，要么离开。她们不会什么都不做。

 时长半小时的短片。故事是发生在TV版中途的番外篇，突出两位女主角的位置，并附带“歌姬”设定……主题曲延用TV版前半部的OP（但收录进剧场版时被取消）。

　　本片以主人公大卫·布莱恩架车游历美国得克萨斯州过程中所见所闻为主线，透过一个个具有鲜明个性的小人物及发生在他们身上的故事，展示了当地人对于生活和爱情的独特理解。该片值得称道的是将歌舞与写实完美结合，大量旋律优美的乡村民谣,歌曲成为片中最耀眼的亮点，也是导演大卫·布莱恩对电影艺术的创新之举，是一次成功的探索。
