Abandoning his lucrative career as a 1960s Soho advertising executive, Deakin bought a ruined house in rural Suffolk and then reinvented himself first as a documentary film-maker and finally as the author of the bestselling memoir, “Waterlog”, which sparked both the fashions for nature-writing and so-called wild swimming.

General Candy (Roger Livesey), who's overseeing an English squad in 1943, is a veteran leader who doesn't have the respect of the men he's training and is considered out-of-touch with what's needed to win the war. But it wasn't always this way. Flashing back to his early career in the Boer War and World War I, we see a dashing young officer whose life has been shaped by three different women (all played by Deborah Kerr), and by a lasting friendship with a German soldier.
Godard is Candy.
