A Place Called Italy

A Place Called Italy | Hidden Britain

What if an old guitar carried a promise for more than fifty years?

In 1972, during a folk music festival in Haugesund, Norway, a young singer lost the guitar that had travelled everywhere with him. Time passed. Lives changed. But one promise quietly remained.

This film follows a remarkable journey to the beautiful village of Portmeirion in Wales — a place many people have never heard of, yet one of the most extraordinary villages in Britain.

More than a travel film, this is a story about memory, friendship, music, forgiveness, and the unexpected paths that sometimes lead us home.

Every scene, every lyric and every image has been created to tell one continuous story.

If you enjoy hidden places, meaningful stories and original music, I hope you'll enjoy this journey.
