Working from a script by late filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski ("Three Colours" trilogy), director Tom Tykwer ("Run Lola Run") directs Cate Blanchett as a British teacher working in Italy, who takes matters into her own hands when she believes local authorities botched the investigation into her husband's drug-related death. After a bomb she made targeting a drug dealer kills innocent bystanders, Blanchett is taken into police custody, where she meets young police officer/translator Giovanni Ribisi who helps her escape. Now they must evade the authorities on a journey that leads them closer to each other as their time together runs out. Kieslowski originally intended this to be the first of a new trilogy, followed by "Purgatory" and "Hell" (set in Los Angeles!).
