In the not-so-distant future, a married man investigates a counterfeiter and ends up the perpetrator of an ethical crime in
Code 46, the latest film from prolific British director
Michael Winterbottom. Set against the backdrop of a technologically advanced Shanghai, where people are only allowed to travel between countries with official passports called "papelles," the film charts the efforts of Seattle native
William (
Tim Robbins) to get to the bottom of a contraband-papelle operation within the walls of a high-tech company that manufactures them. There he finds
Maria (
Samantha Morton), an enigmatic young woman who may or may not be selling the passports on the black market.
William has a brief affair with
Maria, which, despite his attempts to return home, causes him to become embroiled in an even bigger controversy in Shanghai.
