Althia Bryden, a 58-year-old grandmother from London, developed a distinct Italian accent after suffering a stroke that impaired her speech and movement. Despite never having spoken Italian or visiting Italy, she now unconsciously uses Italian words and expressions. Bryden is facing challenges in her identity and feeling isolated due to her new accent, which is linked to a rare condition known as foreign accent syndrome, typically arising from brain damage. She expresses a desire to connect with others who experience the same condition.
