BREAKING AND ENTERING

Breaking and Entering, a 2006 romantic drama, is Academy Award-winning director Anthony Minghella's first original screenplay since his 1991 feature debut, Truly, Madly, Deeply.

The film stars Jude Law – whom Minghella directed in Cold Mountain and The Talented Mr. Ripley – and Juliette Binoche, from The English Patient, also directed by Anthony Minghella.

In a major supporting role, Robin Wright Penn plays Liv, the long-standing girlfriend of Will (Jude Law's character).

Rafi Gavron, in his first major film role, portrays Miro. The role, that of a young traceur, and the burglar to which the film's title partly alludes, requires Gavron to perform several difficult physical feats.

The film, shot and set in King's Cross, a blighted, inner-city neighbourhood of London, examines an affair which unfolds between a successful British landscape architect and a Bosnian woman – the mother of a troubled teen son – who was widowed by the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The filming location for Amira's flat is Rowley Way, South Hampstead, London; other locations are the Primrose Hill, Camden Lock Market and Alexandra Palace, Muswell Hill.

Will Francis (Jude Law) is a young landscape architect living a cold, routine-based life with his girlfriend Liv (Robin Wright Penn) and her behaviourally challenged daughter Bea in London. After his state-of-the-art offices in the Kings Cross area are repeatedly burgled, he stakes out the building hoping to catch the culprit. Spotting a teenage traceur (Rafi Gavron) attempting to break in, Will attempts to follow him. This pursuit leads Will to the mysterious Amira (Juliette Binoche), a seamstress with whom he becomes emotionally entangled, causing him to re-evaluate his life. Conflict arises when the police close in on the burglars, and Will must make a crucial choice which will affect the lives of everyone around him.
