Synopsis:

From one of the unsung heroes of British cinema, Thorold Dickinson (The Queen of Spades, Gaslight), comes this tale of love, betrayal, subterfuge and revenge. Maria (Valentina Cortese, La nuit américaine) and Nora (a luminous pre Roman Holiday Audrey Hepburn) are sisters who have spent the last 7 years exiled in London in the care of a family friend since the death of their political activist father at the hands of General Galbran – a leader of the fascist regime in Spain. When on holiday in Paris, the girls and Uncle Anselmo bump into Maria’s former lover, Louis (Serge Reggiani, Army of Shadows, The Leopard), who is still active in the Spanish resistance. He follows them to London and persuades a reluctant Maria to aid their cause by taking a small but crucial part in an assassination attempt on the General. When events take an unexpected turn and an innocent bystander is gravely hurt, Maria is devastated by her guilt. Torn between love for Louis, loyalty to her father and his cause, and her conscience, she must decide what she believes in the most. A tense and passionate examination of morality and conscience in the face of political suppression.
