Synopsis

Beginning in 1931, amongst the dreary slums of London's Docklands, The Other Side Of Como takes us on a journey across mid-century Europe as it suffers the greatest war ever known. Based on true events, this is the story of Vivian, a young woman lost by the poor prospects available to her in England, who leaves home and family for love. Love of a man, but also love of Northern Italy: the rich landscape of the Grigna mountains; the Lakes Como, Maggiore, Lugano; and the prosperous industrious city of Milan. As the shadow of Fascism draws over Italy, Vivian must watch as her happiness is gradually destroyed.
