Double Oscar nominated film including Best Actor for Albert Finney!

November 1st, 1938, the Day of the Dead in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Geoffrey Firmin (Albert Finney), British Consul to Mexico, has just quit his job and takes solace with his best friend - a bottle of booze in an effort to forget his problems, and that of the world. Whilst the Spanish Civil War and the rise of Nazism in Germany have fuelled Mexican nationalism, he is also still bitter after the divorce from his actress wife, Yvonne (Jacqueline Bisset). Despite writing to him several times, without any reply, about her intentions to rekindle their marriage, Yvonne decides to return to Cuernavaca on the Day of the Dead. But Geoffrey's younger half-brother, Hugh (Anthony Andrews) also arrives in order to help his brother get sober and live his life again. But a self-destructive drunk is not an easy man to reclaim.
