Set during the Second World War, The Italian Chapel - based on true events - follows a reluctant private in Mussolini’s army who is captured by the British and sent to a windswept camp on an uninhabited island off the coast of Scotland.
An encounter with a local girl gives the private something to live for and awakens a new enterprise in his heart - turning a rusty Nissen hut into a beautiful chapel for the camp.
Many years later, the former POW, now happily married, returns with his wife to restore his work on the chapel, only to find his war-time flame still living in Orkney.
The building of the chapel is based on true events and the site has become a popular local tourist attraction.
