Synopsis

In the summer of 2014, Bernard Jordan made global headlines. He had staged a "great escape" from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades at the D-Day Landings 70th anniversary. It was a story that captured the imagination of the world as Bernie embodied the defiant, "can-do" spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course, it wasn`t the whole story. It was an inspirational but sanitised retelling of one man`s need to come to terms with the lasting trauma of war. Bernie`s adventure, spanning a mere 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Rene.
