Hana, az ápolónő súlyosan sebesült férfit helyez el egy toscanai romos kolostorban a második világháború vége felé. Hana azt hiszi, átok ül rajta. A háborúban elszenvedett traumatikus élmények hatására retteg attól, hogy akit megszeret, az halálra van ítélve. A beteg nem emlékszik semmire, személyazonosságának egyetlen kulcsa egy személyes levelekkel, térképekkel és fotókkal telerakott könyv, amit nála találtak. Hana olvasni kezdi betegének a könyvet és a szinte felismerhetetlenségig összeégett férfi emlékezni kezd. Alig telik el néhány pillanat, s Gróf Almásy Lászlóként látjuk viszont. A híres magyar nyelvész és kutató tagja volt egy háború előtti expedíciónak, mely addig föltérképezetlen sivatagokat járt be. Az expedícióhoz egy nemrég házasodott angol arisztokrata pár is csatlakozik. Katherine, az ifjú feleség tudós és festő, a félelmet nem ismeri. A zárkózott Almásyra nagy hatást gyakorol az asszony.
