A deeply endearing film, Nobody Has to Know concerns Phil, a middle-aged Belgian farmhand working on the Scottish Isle of Lewis, who suffers amnesia following a stroke. A lonely local woman, Millie, helps him acclimate back to his life and claims they were lovers previously, a fragile lie that Millie must protect. With the gradual return of Phil’s memories, their new-found happiness is threatened. 

Though reluctant to continue their relationship, they cannot deny their attraction and the stage is set for reignited romance. There’s just one issue: did that romance ever exist in the first place? Starring Bouli Lanners and Michelle Fairley, there is real empathy and grace in this tale of two genuinely lost people finding a connection.
