Two women, one village, and a war that changes everything…

In wartime Italy, Rosa’s whole world is turned upside down when British POWs are sent to her father’s tenant farm on landowner Ginori’s Tuscan estate. Grieving her husband killed by the Allies, she is wary of the British soldiers.

Meanwhile Emma, the landowner''s daughter, sees an opportunity to help her childhood friend Marco, an Italian soldier hiding from the Nazis.

As danger closes in, unlikely alliances form. Rosa’s distrust melts as she bonds with Tom, a charismatic Scotsman among the POWs. Together, they navigate the perils of war to rescue their community.

With enemy forces tightening their grip, both women face immense risks. Their mission to save their loved ones turns into a daring plan to liberate their village. In a world where hope is scarce, can Rosa and Emma turn the tide of war in their favour?
