Love For An Enemy Synopsis

In wartime Egypt, can a British submarine commander trust his Italian lover?1941: The teeming city of Alexandria is almost under siege by the Afrika Korps. A vortex of ancient loves and murderous intrigues, Alexandria is the Royal Navy's major Eastern Mediterranean base. But Italian frogmen and their so-called 'human torpedoes' are posing a lethal threat to British warships.Hardly the time or place for a British submarine commander to fall in love, especially as the girl in question is half-Italian, and Alexandria's large Italian population is only too eager to welcome Rommel and his troops into town. Interspersed with scenes of naval action described in gripping and authentic detail - seen through Italian as much as British eyes - the human drama unfolds, its actors ever aware of the mounting threat of a German breakthrough.
