Part haunting crime thriller, part love story - andnow a major motion picture, starring Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman.

Benjamin Chaparro is a man haunted by his past - aretired detective, he remains obsessed with the decades-old case of the rape and murder of a young woman. As he revisits the details of the investigation, he is reacquainted with his similarly long, unrequited love for Irene Hornos, then just an intern, now a respected judge.
