He is shunned by the community, but they discover that he knows a terrible secret about a nearby deserted island. Set before and during the First World War with startlingly beautiful landscapes, evocative music and a screenplay by Michael Morpurgo from his novel. With Paul Scofield, Helen Mirren, David Suchet.
