The Second World War is nearing the end. The young Canadian nurse takes care of an abandoned villa for her “English patient”, who received terrible burns during a plane crash in the Sahara desert. Slowly fading away, he resurrects his passionate romance with a married woman, swept away by a hurricane of war and banal prejudices, which ultimately led to a tragic denouement.
