Synopsis

In the final days of World War II, a young nurse tends to a critically injured, nameless Englishman in an abandoned Italian villa. As she cares for him, his past and the events that led to his condition are slowly revealed through fragmented memories. Their shared isolation and his stories create an intense bond, blurring the lines between healer and patient, past and present.
