In a near future, in a world ruled by a totalitarian government, checking of the genetic code is mandatory for any type of possible relationship between man and woman. The investigator from Seattle William travels to Shanghai to investigate the faking and stealing of special Visas (called using the Spanish word "papeles"). The main suspect is Maria Gonzales, who works in the company Sphinx, but William falls in love for her and protects her. They have a passionate one night stand, and sooner they find that they are genetically incompatible to each other and they have violated the Code 46.

This movie was amazing. I thought that the depiction of the future was so realistic and subtle that it was all the more disquieting. I loved the way in which, presumably through globalization, language became a mish-mash of so many different tongues. I also found the love story to be nuanced and beautiful. There was a definite theme of mothers, daughters and sons that wove itself through the entire film - the Sphinx knows best, Tim Robbins' love interest had the genes of his mother, they had an illegal child together, they fled together to the city of her father's dreams - it goes on and on. All in all a visually stunning, subtle and disquieting masterpiece. I think Winterbottom is one of the best directors of our time.IMDB Reviewer
