Synopsis

WHAT'S IT REALLY LIKE TO LIVE IN THE HEART OF ITALY, AWAY FROM THE PICTURE POSTCARD VERSIONS? THE ART OF EXILE tells the story of the death and rebirth of two young idealists who leave their London lives behind to pursue the romantic dream of a new life deep in the heart of the timeless Tuscan country side. Combining a bitter-sweet love story, a philosophical diary and a comedy of circumstance, it regales us with a series of Italian adventures peopled by an extraordinary cast of characters: eccentric contessas, crazy old counts, shameless old-fashioned peasants, sharp businessmen, a famous Buddhist teacher, a renowned American translator a famous Scandinavian novelist… and many more. “Italy is not a country - it is a drug: once hooked you can never kick the habit. In the end you die, intoxicated by the fatal charm of its people, places, past and present. Of course, once dead, there is nothing to do but be reborn: what you then need - is a phrase book for ghosts”
