"My House in Umbria" begins with a shock: a train traveling through Italy is the the victim of a terrorist bomb, which kills a number of the passengers on board. A woman, Mrs. Emily Delahunty (Maggie Smith), who lives in the nearby town of Umbria, invites the survivors into her home and into the village while they recuperate. Among the survivors is a young girl, Aimee (Emmy Clarke), who was orphaned as a result of the bombing. Aimee's uptight uncle, Thomas Riversmith (Chris Cooper), is summoned to the town to pick up the very traumatized Aimee. After many differences in opinions between Thomas and Emily, they begin to come to an understanding.
