Tea with Mussolini (1999) (original) (raw)
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, a singer and artist; Georgie, an eccentric American archaeologist; Elsa, 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.
