THE VIEW FROM LAKE COMO

Narrator Mira Sorvino enchants as she portrays Jess Capodimonte Baratta, a good Italian daughter from New Jersey who finds the courage to break free from a life that seems to be happening without her consent. When an unwanted revelation and an unexpected windfall from her beloved Uncle Louie turn Jess's life upside down, she seeks clarity and a fresh start in her family's ancestral home of Carrara, Italy. Sorvino offers exceptional depth of expression to Jess's journey, bringing every raw emotion to the surface and letting it play out with genuine fervor. As Jess tries to rebuild her life by connecting with the people around her, Sorvino portrays both these new friends and the family Jess left behind as having complicated motivations of their own.
