Learn about auditioning
Feeling lost in the shadows of marriage and post-WWI society, two frustrated London housewives decide to rent a villa in Italy for a ladies-only holiday away from their bleak marriages. They reluctantly recruit two very different English women to share the cost and the experience. There, among the wisteria blossoms and Mediterranean sunshine, all four bloom again—rediscovering themselves in ways that they, and we, could never have expected.
