The English Patient(1996)

Director: Anthony Minghella
The explorer and cartographer Count Laszlo de Almásy played by Ralph Fiennes, encounters in the magnificent desert Katharine Clifton (played by Kristin Scott Thomas) the wife of one of his fellow exploratores.
A romance sparks between them, leading to a series of events that would demonstrate the impossible and tragic character of their love.
In special conditions, in special times (war world two), in special places, where time and space have other weights, love obtains new dimensions. This movie is a modern Romeo and Juliet play.
