Through Jane’s extraordinary destiny, discover the true and forgotten story of the donut girls during the Second World War.

Milwaukee, 1942. The United States has just joined the war. Jane Pearson is 25 and decides to leave her friends and family behind to enroll with the Red Cross. She will miss neither the sad grey streets of her hometown, nor her father’s violence. So off she goes, heading for Washington, New York, and then, London! Jane will be a “donut girl”, the women sent to the front by the Red Cross to boost the morale of the troops.

The plan is simple yet brilliant: reminding these homesick young men of home by handing them donuts and fresh coffee.

Now Jane and the other women are going from military base to military base, to cheer the soldiers up, giving them coffee, cigarettes… and donuts they make themselves. It’s a success: the soldiers eagerly await the young women’s visit. Donut in hand, they forget about the war for a moment. With the donut girls, they play, they dance, they watch movies. For an instant they all become carefree young men and women…

In the middle of the war, as London is ravaged by bombs and tightened by restrictions, Jane will forge deep friendships and find true love.

Following the soldiers, she will arrive in France and discover Normandy, before attempting to reach Paris, where the man she loves is waiting for her.
