What happens

Breaking and Entering is a 2006 romantic crime drama film written and directed by Anthony Minghella and starring Jude Law, Juliette Binoche, and Robin Wright. It was his first original screenplay since his 1990 feature debut Truly, Madly, Deeply and his final feature film before his death in 2008. Set in a blighted, inner-city neighbourhood of London, the film is about a successful landscape architect whose dealings with a young thief and his mother cause him to re-evaluate his life. Minghella previously directed the film's stars – Jude Law in Cold Mountain and The Talented Mr. Ripley, and Juliette Binoche in The English Patient. In his first major film role, Rafi Gavron portrays Miro, the young traceur burglar, a role requiring several difficult physical feats. The film is a presentation of The Weinstein Company, Miramax Films and Mirage Enterprises and was distributed in the United States by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and in international markets by Buena Vista International. Breaking and Entering premiered on 13 September 2006 at the Toronto International Film Festival before being released in the United States on 9 February 2007. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
