Synopsis:

Venice, 1486.


Across the lagoon lies Murano. Time flows differently here - like the glass the island's maestros spend their lives perfecting.


In secret, Orsola Rosso learns to craft glass. As a woman, she must flout convention to save her family from ruin. We follow her through hundreds of years of war and plague, tragedy and triumph, love and loss.


Skipping like a stone across the centuries, The Glassmaker is a virtuoso portrait of a woman, a family and a city that are as everlasting as glass.
