In this adaptation of a short story by Graham Greene, an English schoolboy learns from his boarding school headmaster that his father has been accidentally killed by a pig which fell on him. The bizarre and unusual nature of his father’s death haunts him-his school friends tease him and years after the event, his aunt still relishes the tale. Only after he meets a girl who understands can he shake off this terrible memory.
