My House in Umbria

 An English movie set in Italy. We follow the life of an aging romantic novelist in a villa in Umbria and her proteges - who are a trio recovering from a train accident, along with her and their interactions. Its kind of funny, kind of beautiful, kind of sad and stars the famous British actress Maggie Smith in the leading role.
