Heading Home is a British television drama film written and directed by David Hare. It was first broadcast on BBC Two on 18 December 1991 as part of the Screen Two anthology series. The film stars Gary Oldman, Joely Richardson, Stephen Dillane, and Stella Gonet.
Synopsis
Set in post-World War II London, Heading Home follows Janetta Wheatland, a young woman from the provinces who moves to the city to start a new life. She becomes involved with two very different men: Leonard Meopham, a charismatic figure in the Bohemian literary crowd of Soho, and Ian Tyson, an ambitious property developer. As Janetta navigates her relationships and the complexities of post-war society, she finds herself entangled in both the literary and criminal underworlds of London.
