My House in Umbria

"My House in Umbria" is an excellent film to write our final project on because it has most of Corrigan's six methods, plus it's just an excellent movie to watch! After being a victim of a terrorist attack aboard a train, romance writer Mrs. Delahunty invites the survivors from her train compartment to come and recover at her beautiful mansion in the countryside of Umbria. Just as these four strangers start to become close and develop relationships with one another, the uncle of Aimee (who's parents were both killed in the attack), sends word that he is coming to get her. After meeting Aimee's uncle, Mrs. Delahunty does not think that living with him is the ideal situation for Aimee. From there, the story unfolds into Mrs. Delahunty trying to figure out more about this mysterious uncle of Aimee, how to persuade him to let her keep Aimee, and how to continue growing and developing her relationships with the other victims as well. Overall this is simply an excellent film and just as the tagline says: When you open your door to strangers, you never know who might come in.
