About This Movie

Changing Step is an evocative TV movie that dives into the stark contrasts of privilege and tragedy during WWI. Set in Spring 1917, the atmosphere of Sorn Castle is laden with tension; once a symbol of wealth, now it’s a makeshift hospital for war amputees. The film captures the awkwardness of the local aristocracy stepping into nursing roles, showcasing their naive attempts to cope with the realities of war. The pacing has this slow burn, allowing the budding romance to unfold amid the chaos, making it both tender and poignant. Performances here are heartfelt, with a certain rawness that reflects the societal shifts of the time. It’s a unique blend of personal and historical drama, which really sets it apart.
