by Elizabeth Troop adapted by the author from her novel
with Fiona Walker as Claudiah Palmer, Michael Graham Cox as Howard Palmer, John McAndrew as Sam Palmer and Peter Whitman as Tom Vermeer

Howard Palmer, a film director, has taken his wife Claudia and son Sam to Italy in an attempt to finish a failing film script with his American writer, Tom Vermeer. But the melancholy quiet of a Tuscan village in August proves to be no escape from the crises of middle age - and in their isolation they indulge in reckless and dangerous games.
