This heart warming story is based on the life British World War II Navy veteran, Bernard Jordan.
The year is 2014 and with commemorations due to take place for the 70th anniversary of D-Day in France, Bernie is heartbroken. He's in no condition to attend as he is about to turn 90 and living out his days in a nursing home in Suffolk.
Undeterred, Bernie hatches a plan to break out of his nursing home to secretly attend the ceremony in France to give a heartfelt goodbye to a fallen friend. Along the way, he's aided by strangers, makes new friends and the news of his "escape" makes him an international sensation.
Beautiful, enchanting and sublimely performed. - IMDB
