Italian star Michela De Rossi has been announced as the lead in the SBS WW2 dramedy While The Men Are Away, currently shooting in Sydney.
While The Men Are Away is a queer revisionist historical dramedy for SBS set in 1940s rural Australia. While the men are off fighting in WWII, the people who have been excluded from power suddenly find themselves running the show. Two Women’s Land Army recruits from Sydney arrive in the country and undergo a heady course in race relations, rural politics, spirituality, sex, and personal growth – and farming.
