The Secret LIfe of Words

Drama set on an oil rig - slow and methodical. Burn victim (Tim Robbins) is nursed to health by part-time nurse (Sarah Polley). Over a series of days the two form an unusual bond and friendship. Both have been wounded seriously in their secret pasts. Robbin's character deals with it by joking and profanity, Polley's character by introversion and silence. They are opposites and they attract. Starts off slow, but finishes well.
