Synopsis
Mimma, a young Italian journalist, is forced to take refuge in her uncle Lorenzo's London bar. The shadow of fascism has pushed him to leave his family, involved in the resistance against Mussolini.
Mimma forges a great friendship with Sarah, an aspiring jazz singer in an England increasingly at odds with Italy. Mimma is in danger of losing absolutely everything. Everything, except one friend she can trust.
