In a dystopian future, insurance fraud investigator William Gold arrives in Shanghai to investigate a forgery ring for “papelles,” futuristic passports that record people’s identities and genetics. Gold falls for Maria Gonzalez, the woman in charge of the forgeries.

The ever-unpredictable Michael Winterbottom—who has given us films as diverse as 24 Hour Party People, Nine Songs, and The Trip—delivers this cold-as-ice science fiction drama that remains, at its heart, a love story. Starring an excellent Tim Robbins and Samantha Morton as the central couple.
