3. Private Bill (2001)
On his final day as a University Professor, Bill Dwyer is visited by a young student who looks remarkably like the girl he fell in love with before the war. He begins to reminisce with her about his missing years in Changi, telling her about the time he and his mates got their own back on the Japanese, the day the camp was visited by a General.
