Psychodrama with a thriller touch: Charlotte Rampling stars in the debut feature of her son Barnaby Southcombe.
A young man in his prime is found dead in his London apartment. The detective assigned to the case meet a beautiful woman nearby who fascinates him: Anna. The notoriously overworked, restless detective soon meets the mysterious woman again at a party for singles. So begins a relationship that is sure to delve into the lightness of love. Although he is smitten, his job makes him distrustful, and so he soon suspects that his lady love is involved in the same case he's been assigned to solve. But how? And why?
In a beguilingly photographed and seemingly under-cooled cityscape, British actors Gabriel Byrne and Charlotte Rampling star in a chamber piece that is an entertaining psychodrama with a thriller touch. And noteworthy for being the debut of Rampling's son Barnaby Southcombe.
