“London,1962. Two teenage girls \u2013 Ginger & Rosa \u2013 are inseparable. They skip school together, talk about love, religion and politics and dream of lives bigger than their mothers\u2019 domesticity. But the growing threat of nuclear war casts a shadow over their lives. Ginger (Elle Fanning) is drawn to poetry and protest, while Rosa (Alice Englert) shows Ginger how to smoke cigarettes, kiss boys and pray. Both rebel against their mothers: Rosa\u2019s single mum, Anoushka (Jodhi May), and Ginger\u2019s frustrated painter mother, Natalie (Christina Hendricks). Meanwhile, Ginger\u2019s pacifist father, Roland (Alessandro Nivola) seems a romantic, bohemian figure to the girls. He encourages Ginger\u2019s \u2018Ban-the-Bomb\u2019 activism, while Rosa starts to take a very different interest in him. As Ginger\u2019s parents fight and fall apart, Ginger finds emotional sanctuary with a gay couple, both named Mark (Timothy Spall and Oliver Platt), and their American friend, the poet Bella (Annette Bening). Finally, as the Cuban Missile Crisis escalates \u2013 and it seems the world itself may come to an end \u2013 the lifelong friendship of the two girls is shattered. Ginger clutches at one hope; if she can help save the world from extinction, perhaps she too will survive this moment of personal devastation.”<\/p>\n
