BREAKING AND ENTERING
SYNOPSIS
Breaking and Entering tells the story of a series of
thefts—some criminal, some emotional—set
against a backdrop of London’s changing
geographical and cultural landscape. Will (Jude
Law) is a partner in a thriving landscape
architecture firm which he runs with his friend,
Sandy (Martin Freeman). Professionally, things
could not be better but Will spends less and less
time at home with his beautiful, melancholy partner,
Liv (Robin Wright Penn) and her troubled 13 year-old
daughter, Bea. Will’s office has recently relocated
to King's Cross, the centre of Europe’s most
ambitious urban regeneration site and their state-of-
the-art studio repeatedly attracts the attention of a
local gang of thieves. After one of the break-ins, Will
follows teenaged freerunner Miro (Rafi Gavron) back
to the apartment he shares with his mother, Amira
(Juliette Binoche), a Bosnian refugee. With his
relationship already in crisis, Will embarks on a
passionate journey into both the wilder side of
himself and the city in which he lives.
