The English patient

A desperately wounded man is taken by Hana, a French-Canadian nurse played by Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche, to a ruined monastery in Tuscany at the end of the Second World War. The patient claims to have forgotten everything, including his name, and the only clue to his identity is the book he has with him ... It emerges that the patient was a prominent member of a prewar expedition making maps of the hitherto uncharged deserts. Into the midst of this group come a young English couple, Geoffrey and Katherine Clifton who become enthusiastic apprentices to the expedition team led by Count Laszlo de Almasy. How the patient received his terrible injuries, how the Cliftons lost their lives, what became of the maps created by the expedition team ... from the heart of the story in the desert.

Gradually the soldier begins to recall fragments of memory from the pre-war years. Flashbacks reveal that he was an archaeologist/cartographer in the Sahara who was involved in a passionate, and ultimately tragic, affair with the wife of a British colleague. Critic Geoff Andrew has described the film as "essentially a study in different responses to love and war, honour and betrayal, nationality and identity, falsehood and forgiveness, which sounds subtle echoes as the narrative flashes to and fro between two main time frames".
