My House in Umbria (2003 Richard Loncraine)

British ex-pat  Maggie Smith takes in fellow victims of train bombing Ronnie Barker (good as ever), Benno Furmann, and mute child Emmy Clarke. They are visited by inspector Giancarlo Giannini and the girl's estranged uncle Chris Cooper.

I found the way Smith's character kept on at the grumpy Cooper a bit annoying, though the film is deeper than it might have been.
