What happens

My House in Umbria is a 2003 American made-for-television drama mystery film, loosely based on the 1991 novella of the same name by William Trevor and published along with another novella in the volume Two Lives. The film stars Maggie Smith and Chris Cooper, and was directed by Richard Loncraine. An unlikely group of people come together to support one another in solace and friendship, after being thrown together in the wake of a terrorist attack of the train carriage they were sharing in Italy.
