England, 1941. Teenage sisters Thomasina and Martha have built a machine, LOLA, that can intercept radio and TV broadcasts from the future. This allows them to listen to iconic music before it has been made, and embrace their inner punk well before the movement came into existence. But with the Second World War escalating, the sisters decide to use the machine to intercept information that could help with military intelligence. The machine initially proves to be a huge success, rapidly twisting the fortunes of the war against the Nazis. While Thomasina becomes intoxicated by LOLA, Martha begins to realise the terrible consequences of its power.

“I was very excited about trying to tell a story in a different way, in a non-drama way. The idea was to make a movie where the character in the movie curated the movie herself. I wanted to do a period found-footage movie. I loved the idea of these sisters outside the time they are in. And I loved the idea of doing a time-travel movie but a slightly different version as LOLA is not a time machine.” (Andrew Legge)
