Movie propaganda
Three young Dutch women, Marjorie (Petra Laseur), Ada (Karina Smulders) and Esther (Anna Drijver), eager to escape the damp and suffocating atmosphere in post-war Holland, are looking forward to a brighter life in New Zealand. They meet each other on the immigration flight to their new country, where they will join their future husbands who have already settled in New Zealand. During the flight the three young women encounter Frank (Waldemar Torenstra), who is immigrating to New Zealand to be a share farmer. In the early years in their new country, the lives of Marjorie, Esther and Ada become entangled. Fifty years later at Frank's funeral they discover just how much their lives are intertwined through their different relationships with Frank. Bride Flight is inspired by the true story of the Last Great Air Race from London to Christchurch in October 1953. Most of the passengers on the KLM aircraft that won the race were young women on their way to join their fiancés. The international press gave the flight the pet name “Bride Flight".
