Rebecca (Binoche) is a renowned photo journalist. The film opens with
her taking photos of a young woman preparing herself to be a suicide bomber,
following her as far as Kabul. She tries to warn to people in the street but
the bomb goes off, killing many and injuring Rebecca seriously.
Next we see her in hospital, husband Marcus (Coster-Waldau) at her
bedside, then reunited with their two daughters in Ireland. He tells her he can
no longer live with her and his anxiety over waiting for the time she doesn’t
survive. She tells him she will quit. He doesn’t believe her.
It’s an emotionally charged family drama, dealing with important domestic and world conflicts. Very well acted and beautifully filmed, with no easy answers.
