After the Allied victory in North Africa in 1941. 1,000 Italian soldiers were sent as a labor force to build barriers on a remote island off the Scottish coast. Their arrival terrified the islanders. After three years of war with the constant threat of invasion, they fear a captured enemy and are unwilling to tolerate their neighborhood. Most see the Italians as bloodthirsty enemies, but to the two sisters, Dorothy and Constance, they are only the weary, sick and wounded, unused to the cold of the Orkney winter. The girls help the captives in any way they can. Dorothy is immediately attracted to Cesare, a very young boy whose psyche is broken by the horrors of war. As the war drags on, tensions between the islanders and the outsiders grow. Dorothy's bond with Cesare jeopardizes another bond - that of her sister Constance. Since the death of their parents, the sisters have relied only on each other, and now their closeness is threatened... And one fateful evening, choices will have to be made that will have devastating consequences.
