Road to Ferrara
4 Extra Debut. From 1425 to 2019, two ill-starred love triangles, set at the oldest horse race in Italy. Stars Peter Wright and Rebecca Lee.
Raymond has long since divorced, but is still not resigned to his single status. When his mother dies, he looks to her carer for help of a different sort.
An invitation to go with her to Ferrara to witness the oldest Palio in Italy seems to open up the possibility of romance, but Ferrara is a city with a history of lust, betrayal and revenge - and Raymond’s visit there has unexpected echoes of the past.
