Description
Childhood sweethearts, Emilio and Rosa are engaged to be married. But it is 1942 and the war has taken Emilio far from Italy, to a tiny Orkney island where he is a prisoner of war. Emilio is inspired by the idea of building a chapel on the barren island. The prisoners band together to transform a derelict hut with little more than salvaged odds and ends. The chapel gradually takes shape, vivid frescoes line the walls. While Emilio's chapel will remain long after the POW camp has been disbanded, will his love for Rosa survive the hardships of war and separation? Rosa is no longer the girl he left behind. Life has changed, and nothing will be the same again.
