Another time, another place

During the summer of 1944, three Italian prisoners of war are billeted in a village in the north-east of Scotland. For most of the people there, it is of little interest, hardly disturbing the daily routine of their isolated crofting community. But for one young farmworker's wife, whose job it is to look after them, the Italians bring with them a glimpse of another, more exotic world, and reawakens dreams of a future that is far removed from everything she has ever known.
