An aspiring young writer tracks a literary titan suffering from writer’s block to his refuge in rural Italy and learns about life and love from the irascible genius and his daughters.
Jeremy Taylor, a young and career-minded editor is dispatched to Tuscany by his demanding boss to find reclusive writer Wheldon Parish and despite not having written a literary word in 20 years persuade him to sign up to their publishing company. Not the easiest challenge as not only does Wheldon not want to be found but the locals in the small town where he lives are very protective of the once literary genius. But Jeremy manages to break down the barriers and gets to know the real Wheldon and his daughter Isabella. In doing so starts to learn all about life, love, and what makes a great writer.
“Shadows in the Sun is a thoroughly well rounded movie which works on many levels and delivers the warmth and fun you expect from this type of movie.” – The Movie Scene
“The supporting performances from the villagers are funny and natural, and Mirman certainly makes the most of his beautiful Tuscan backdrops. Quite entertaining.” – Future Movies
“Shadows in the Sun is a pleasant little romantic comedy that’s generally elevated by the uniformly compelling performances and some admittedly gorgeous scenery.” – Reel Film Reviews
