Synopsis

In 1941, two orphaned sisters, Thomasina (Emma Appleton) and Martha (Stefanie Martini), build a time machine called LOLA that has the power to intercept radio and TV broadcasts from the future. As well as being able to listen to iconic music before it’s been made, they choose to intercept information from the future that could help with military intelligence in World War Two, with initial success that unfortunately cannot come to fruition without consequences.
