Pyrenees
by David Greig
Synopsis
A man is found lying in the snow at the foot of the Pyrenees.
He remembers nothing.
He believes he is British.
A young woman from the British Consulate is dispatched to confirm his nationality and to try to piece together his identity.
When Vivienne, a middle aged woman from Edinburgh arrives, she presents him with a history he doesn't recognise.
Is he really who she says he is?
As the snow melts on the mountains the man must decide which reality he will enter - Anna's or Vivienne's?
Who is he really?
