A British plane was shot down by German troops while flying over the Sahara Desert. The pilot was injured and could not remember who he was, so he was called a "British patient". Hannah, a nurse in the field hospital, decided to stay alone to take care of the English patient. They stayed in an abandoned monastery in Italy, quiet and leisurely, far from the hustle and bustle of the war. The "English patient" lay quietly on the wooden bed of the room, and an old book on the window gradually aroused his mind. A love, burning in the flames of war, transcends morality and changes the war situation. Archaeologist count Emmarsh (Ralph Fiennes Ralph Fiennes) follows explorers to the Sahara Desert and meets mapping pilot Jeff and his wife Catherine (Kristen Scott Thomas Kristin Scott Thomas). Aimashu was fascinated by Catherine's talent and beauty, and when they visited the murals in a deep cave in the desert, they found that they were like-minded to each other. Morality finally triumphs over passion. After Catherine and Emma broke up, Jeff found out about his wife's affair. Sad Jeff was flying a plane in an attempt to meet his wife and Emma.
