While traveling through Italy on an extended vacation, Lilia Heriton falls for handsome Gino Carella and, against the wishes of her family, decides to stay in Monteriano. Dispatched by self-centered relatives to retrieve her, brother-in-law Philip and chaperone Caroline Abbott discover startling news that will alter the course of two families forever. Based on the novel by E. M. Forster (Howards End, A Room with a View), this insightful, funny, and sometimes tragic look at the collision of two different cultures features astonishingly beautiful scenery, a haunting score by Academy Award-winning composer Rachel Portman (Emma), and a memorable supporting turn by Emmy-winner Judy Davis.
Starring Helen Mirren, Giovanni Guidelli, Helena Bonham Carter, Rupert Graves.
