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.

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.
