My House in Umbria

After a train is bombed, kindly Englishwoman Mrs. Emily Delahunty (Dame Maggie Smith) invites several of the recovering survivors back to her Italian villa. One of the survivors is Aimee (Emmy Clarke), a young American girl whose mother was killed in the wreck. Initially traumatized to the point of not speaking, Aimee responds to the older woman's kindness. The child's interest in life is slowly rekindled. Authorities seek relatives who might take the child and finds an uncle, who is not known to the child. An unkind and seemingly unfeeling man, he and his wife are childless professionals studying carpenter ants. The couple are obviously willing to take Aimee, but equally obvious is that they are doing it as an obligation. The uncle and Mrs. Delahunty struggle to find common grounds as he contemplates returning to America with Aimee.
