Kind and loyal, Elva was a shy young girl from a typical English seaside town who was swept off her feet by a handsome older Italian bodybuilder. It was all she had ever wanted; the promise of life as a loving mother and devoted wife. But a dark secret from her past left her vulnerable to Bruno's brooding, possessive nature, and behind closed doors, Elva's family idyll turned into a reign of terror of both mental and physical abuse for her and her children. Their daughter Natalia speaks for the first time about how the family suffered.
