WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Three interconnected love stories set within Paris, New York and Rome – in Paris, writer Michael (Neeson) receives an unexpected visit from his lover Anna (Wilde), whom he cannot commit to because of a dark secret; in New York, Julia (Kunis) has her son taken away from her after she apparently tries to kill him, and when he winds up in the custody of father Rick (Franco) she attempts to take him back; and in Rome, American businessman Scott (Brody) is drawn into a plot to rescue the daughter of his Albanian lover Monica (Atias)…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Oscar-winning writer-director Paul Haggis returns to multi-story filmmaking, once again with a stellar ensemble cast and an overarching theme that rings true for almost everyone in society.
