After a tragic train accident, four survivors find solace in the villa of an English writer, Mrs. Delahunty (Maggie Smith). The other survivors--an American girl (Emmy Clarke), a British general (Ronnie Barker), and a young German (Benno Furmann)--struggle to come to terms with the disaster, as an inspector (Giancarlo Giannini) tries to figure out exactly what happened. Eventually, the young girl's uncle (Chris Cooper) shows up, bringing the film to a climax. [More]

Thin and uninvolving ... [but] the performances are good in a muted sort of way.

A story about guilt, love and happy endings, My House in Umbria is a delightful and uplifting encounter.

The scenery in this film is lush, the acting strong. But the material wanders and falters.
