Additional information
Based on the best-selling John le Carré novel and from the Academy
Award-nominated director of "City of God." In a remote area of Northern Kenya,
activist Tessa Quayle (Rachel Weisz) is found brutally murdered. Tessa's
companion, a doctor, appears to have fled the scene, and the evidence
points to a crime of passion. Members of the British High Commission in
Nairobi assume that Tessa's widower, their mild-mannered and unambitious
colleague Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), will leave the matter to them. They
could not be more wrong. Haunted by remorse and jarred by rumors of his
late wife's infidelities, Quayle surprises everyone by embarking on a
personal odyssey that will take him across three continents. Using his
privileged access to diplomatic secrets, he will risk his own life, stopping at
nothing to uncover and expose the truth - a conspiracy more far-reaching
and deadly than Quayle could ever have imagined
