Pyrenees

T1879171101
A naked man is found lying in the snow at the foot of the Pyrenees. He remembers nothing. He believes he is British. "I am a smoker, I'm not from Yorkshire, It's not much but it's a start." Anna from the British Consulate is dispatched to confirm his nationality and to try to piece together his identity. "Oh he's definitely British. I'll go further than that. He's English. I'd put my shirt on it... I can tell an Englishman when I see one. We carry a certain bearing. Wouldn't you say." Over the course of the day, as the snow melts, a surprising bond develops between the 30 year old woman and the older man. When an elegant Scottish woman arrives claiming to be his wife (after all she has photos...) he has to decide between following his new feelings into the future or turning back to retrace his past.
