EPISODE
Man in an Orange Shirt - Season 1
In this series, there are dramatic events that tell about the first screen drama of the best-selling British novelist Patrick Gale. Patrick tries to tell two gay love stories, 60 years apart - stories linked by family, and by a painting that holds a secret that echoes down the generations. On the other hand, It is 1944, and in the chaos of war British Army Captain Michael Berryman meets the artist Thomas March in Southern Italy, who can change everything.
