It is Florence, 1934. A diverse group of women meet each afternoon for tea. There is Lady Hester Ransom, widow of the British Ambassador to Italy. Arabella is a singer and artist. Georgie is an eccentric American archaeologist. Elsa is also an American, and brash and reckless with it. And finally Mary, who has virtually adopted a young Italian boy named Luca. As the political climate shifts towards fascism, the ladies must face some inevitable changes, and Luca must face his own responsibilities.

7/10

The ‘ladies’ are brilliant in this film and bring light and humour to an otherwise heavy storyline. The film is beautifully done with wonderful scenery.
