Secret Friends

Dennis Potter writes and directs this British fantasy drama based on his novel 'Ticket to Tide'.

Middle-aged writer John (Alan Bates) is travelling on a train when he forgets his own identity and starts seeing visions of his wife, Helen (Gina Bellman), as a murderer and their best friend Angela (Frances Barber) as a prostitute.

When he looks in his wallet, it is inexplicably filled with money.

His attempts to remember clearly are hampered by memories of his abusive childhood.
