Ein Sommer in der Toskana

Overview

Fashion reporter Laura Hansen's research in Tuscany, accidentally reveals that her late mother Gloria, who spent holidays in Prato for 25 years, had a secret adulterous affair in Lucca with surviving local gentleman Emanuele della Torre. Laura falls in love with business attorney Alessandro della Torre, before realizing he's Emanuele's son and works for an Italian luxury-label that exploits thousands of Chinese sweatshop laborers selling "made in Italy" without European labor conditions, as if her mother's secret weren't enough complications, yet lets them be drawn into a web of deceit.—KGF Vissers
