Confronted with death in July 1960, Aneurin 'Nye' Bevan plunges into his memories in a mind-bending journey through his extraordinary life. From a childhood in the Welsh coalfields where he overcame a stammer through books, to the halls of Parliament where he battled Churchill, to the compromises and triumphs that led to his greatest legacy, the founding of the National Health Service in 1948. Tim Price's epic Welsh fantasia, starring Michael Sheen, celebrates the politician with the greatest influence on Britain without ever being Prime Minister.
