"Good-looking, inventively plotted, littered with post-modern themes, perfectly cast and in tune with the times." - Screen International

From his fast and furious debut, Run Lola Run, to the haunting Perfume and the big budget The International, director Tom Tykwer now turns his talents to this stylish, comedic exploration of the complexities of modern relationships.

Forty-something couple Hanna and Simone are at a crossroad. The increasingly mundane state of their relationship has seen then both secretly turning to affairs - but unwittingly they have both fallen for the same man, Adam, who offers an escape full of secrecy, lust and complication.

"Tykwer seems at his most free here, leading his story in surprising directions... It's a delight to watch such smart eyes look at modern desire." - Toronto International Film Festival
