The stories of two strong Welsh-Italian women in a small Valleys community, one living in the 1930s and one in the present day. Seemingly very different characters, Chiara faces problems as a new immigrant, while Frankie battles loan sharks and a good-for-nothing husband. But as events play out, their lives reveal unexpected echoes of each other.
