Moon & The Stars

1939: Rome stands on the brink of the Second World War. Europes political situation is a tense standoff between two blocks: the British and French liberal democracies against German Nazism and Italian Fascism. In the midst of this political and social tension famed producer Davide Rieti (Alfred Molina) is making a major film.

The two lead actors, the German woman Kristina Baumgarten (Catherine McCormack), and the English man James Clavel (Jonathan Pryce), face each others initial antagonism and eventually fall in love. Meanwhile the fascist police are looking for an excuse to arrest the Jewish filmmaker and any other potential "troublemakers." The producer and his crew decide to make one final extraordinary effort to complete the film - against all odds. Will they succeed? Will they get out of Fascist Italy before its too late?
