British soldier Eric Newby (Callum Blue) is captured by Italian forces in World War II. Held captive in a prisoner-of-war camp at a derelict orphanage, Newby is released after the Italian armistice of 1943. But his freedom is short-lived. Newby soon finds himself the target of a Nazi division that refuses to surrender. He survives thanks to the help of Italian farmers and a woman, Wanda (Barbora Bobulova), who gives him food, teaches him Italian and falls in love with him.

John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Italy looks sort of French Impressionist, the young lovers are equally handsome, and we are cheered to learn at the end that their real-life counterparts recently celebrated their fifty-fifth wedding anniversary. Feb 2, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A pleasing WWII love story Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good, sweet movie. I love the romance between them, and the story of how they were torn apart by war and then reunited. Very good. :D Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Very enjoyable and has some understated funny parts too. Too much kissing and not enough character development. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
