Synopsis

En 1939 à Belham, près de Londres, vit la famille Miniver : Kay, Clem son mari et leurs trois enfants Vin, Toby et Judy. La guerre vient bouleverser le calme paisible de leur quotidien. Vin s’engage dans la Royal Air Force et se fiance avec Carol Beldon. M. Miniver, faisant partie de la défense passive, est appelé pour évacuer les soldats anglais bloqués à Dunkerque. Pendant son absence, Kay découvre un aviateur allemand blessé et affamé qui la menace. Après l’avoir désarmé, elle le livre aux autorités. Les bombardements allemands s’intensifient mais la vie continue malgré tout, leur vie s’écoulant le plus souvent dans des abris de fortune. Vin se marie avec Carol. Au beau milieu de la traditionnelle fête florale de Belham, survient un raid aérien allemand. En rentrant, la voiture de Mme Miniver est mitraillée, blessant à mort Carol...
