Plot

edit

In World War Two Australia, Italian POWs Alfredo (Bastoni) and Joseph are billeted with Dorothy (Hensley) and her three little children, while Dorothy's husband is fighting at the front. Also living with them are Jewish German refugees Frau Guttman and her shy daughter Rachel.

The Italian soldiers become housekeepers and arms length friends, but Frau Guttman cannot reconcile herself to the place or the culture.

A secret romance begins between Joseph and Rachel, leading to bitterness and drama at the otherwise calm outback home.[2]
