When the war was here. Roxanne Veletzos. 2021.

Hungary, 1943. As war encroaches on the country’s borders, wilful young Eva arrives in the idyllic town of Sopron to spend her last summer as a single woman on her aristocratic family’s estate. Longing for freedom from her domineering father, she counts the days to her upcoming nuptials to a kind and dedicated Red Cross doctor whom she greatly admires.

But Eva’s life changes when she meets Alexandro, a charming and passionate Romani artist. With time and profound class differences against them, Eva and Alexandro still fall deeply in love - only to be separated by a brutal act of hatred.

As their lives diverge and they are each swept into the tides of war and its aftermath they try to forget what they once shared. But as the years pass, the haunting memory of their love will reshape their destinies and drive them to decisions that will change their lives forever.
