Who’s in it: Tim Robbins, Samantha Morton, Om Puri, Jeanne Balibar, Essie Davis
What it’s about: Set in a future where cities are heavily controlled, people cannot travel unless they have “papelles,” a special travel insurance. William (Robbins), a family and insurance investigator, is sent to another city to solve a case of fake papelles. There, he meets Maria (Morton), and although he knows she’s been creating the forgeries, he falls completely in love with her.
