Enchanted April is a film, based on the 1922 novel, The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim.
It is the story of four dissimilar women in post- World War I England who leave damp and rainy London to go on a holiday to a secluded coastal villa in Italy ( Portofino). Two housewives, who belong to the same church but have never spoken, become acquainted. Each in their own way is suffering through an empty marriage and faces the prospect of a lonely and almost isolated middle age. After seeing a newspaper ad for a villa for rent on the Italian Riviera, the women set about finding two other ladies to share expenses. Joined by a beautiful young socialite and an elderly dowager, the four will find rejuvenation in the tranquil beauty of their surroundings.
