Synopsis

In 1930s fascist Italy, teenage Luca is left motherless and handed over by his indifferent father, a hard‑nosed businessman, to the care of British expatriate Mary Wallace. Mary and a close-knit circle of cultured friends — the painter Arabella, the newly widowed Elsa, and the archaeologist Georgie — take the boy under their wing, surrounding him with genteel routines and protective attention. Their tranquil, refined world is suddenly upended when the Allies declare war on Mussolini, thrusting the women and the child into the dangers and moral choices of a country at war.
