ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Based on the novel by Kate O'Brien, BAFTA award winner Nick Hamm (DRIVEN, THE JOURNEY) directs this heartfelt and dazzling story of family and love in times of civil war through the eyes of Mary (Polly Walker - EMMA, CLASH OF THE TITANS), a young Irishwoman who becomes a governess for a young family in Spain in 1936, where tensions for a civil war are brewing.

SYNOPSIS

This is the story of a young Irish woman who comes to Spain to escape from the pressures she feels about her impending marriage to a political activist in Ireland. But in Spain in the 1930’s, taking a job of governess in a wealthy family, she finds the same kinds of political unrest. In fact, it isn’t long before she finds herself attracted to a married man who is similarly involved in the struggle against fascism and Franco. This awakens her to her nature that brings her to such men and resolves for her what she must do about the life she left in Ireland.
