More of a character study from different perspectives than a full-blown movie. It is difficult to digest why Virginie needed to form a relationship with the cocky tinted cop who seemed to be totally in love with himself and for most of the movie was patronizing towards her. Can understand the husband's slight outburst when he has to deal with their young child almost alone. So things don't appear to totally ring true. Would have been better if the deportee's background and situation had been better explained. Instead he simply broods throughout the movie. Had potential but not fully explored. Felt a little cheated at the end where you have to decide on everyone's fate for yourself . Female lead was the best performance but not a movie to embrace. Felt a little self-indulgent and over-arty.

I loved it
I personally loved it, it's great. Suspension of disbelief is needed. It is of course a fantasy and it never happens in real life. It's about other greater things in life.
Sensitive character-based portrayal
A must see, sensitive narrative of three police officers in charge of conducting a political extradite to the airport. The plot is shown (lightly) within the four character perspectives, and only marginally focus on international fairness regarding political issues, as decisions are immediate personal responses.
