Which was itself (very loosely) based on the real-life story of the guy who lived in Charles de Gaulle airport for many years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehran_Karimi_Nasseri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehran_Karimi_Nasseri I saw him there once in 2005.

  What about this 18 stay in an airport is incredible? Incredibly sad perhaps. From reading the Wikipedia he seemed to be quite stubborn as both Belgium and France offered residency, but for whatever reason he wanted to go to Britain?

    as in "too extraordinary and improbable to be believed". Incredible that he was allowed to go along like this so long

    More than that, he refused to acknowledge his legal name when he was granted access. It's quite a strange story.
