Bride Flight is a bittersweet story of hope, friendship, romance and loss. It is also a story about emigration, and the hope and promise of a better life that the southern lands held after the war in Europe. 

It’s 1953 - Ada, Marjorie and Esther yearn to escape the hardships of post-war life in the Netherlands, and their own pasts. They take part in an international air race and travel to New Zealand in a flight full of other brides on their way to their fiancés.

During the trip they meet Frank, a charismatic bachelor who will come to have a dramatic influence on their lives. While their lives in New Zealand follow different courses, when they are reunited years later they discover how intrinsically their paths have been bound together.
