In Paris, one incident is seen through the eyes of several people - Anne (Juliette Binoche), a stressed actress thirsty for success; her boyfriend Georges (Thierry Neuvic), who is a photographer; Romanian immigrant Maria (Luminita Gheorghiu), who is not legally allowed to work in France and Amadou, (Ona Lu Yenke), a caring teacher who is sympathetic to marginalised people. All become swept up in racial tensions and legal issues that stem from a single, careless act of littering. From Oscar-winning director Michael Haneke. Nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
