As World War Two draws to an end, a burns victim in a field hospital gradually reveals his tale of woe to the nurse looking after him.
Review:
An ever so elegiac and beautiful ode to doomed love, this undeniably indulgent film manages to sustain its fragile atmosphere over a considerable running time, helped by first-rate cast and technicians. More than ever, this was where quality cinema seemed to be heading in the 1990s, before a new irony and realism set in.
