Synopsis

Winner of nine Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, the sweeping expanses of the Sahara are the setting for a passionate love affair in this epic adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's novel.

Near the tail-end of World War II, a badly burned plane crash victim, Laszlo de Almasy (Ralph Fiennes), is tended to by a nurse, Hana (Juliette Binoche), in an Italian monastery.

His past is revealed through flashbacks involving a married Englishwoman (Kristin Scott Thomas) and his work mapping the African landscape. He recalls tales of adventure, political intrigue, and an involvement in a fateful love affair, and Hana learns to heal her own scars as she helps him.
