The star power of Cate Blanchett (Robin Hood) and Giovanni Ribisi (Avatar) propels this luminous and intensely haunting motion picture from the acclaimed director of Run Lola Run. Philippa (Blanchett), a British teacher living in Turin, Italy, has watched helplessly as her husband and friends have fallen victim to drug overdoses. To compound her desperation, the police – who are complicit in the actions of Turin’s biggest drug dealer – have completely ignored Philippa’s repeated offers of information. So, with the unexpected help of a sympathetic police officer (Ribisi), Philippa feels she has nothing to lose by taking divine justice into her own hands. A probing exploration of the modern world and its moral choices, you’ll be mesmerized by Philippa’s transformation from grieving widow to wanted fugitive.
