Unfortunately, the bomb she planted to kill him instead takes the lives of four innocent people and she's arrested for the crime. When she decides to testify in her native English rather than Italian, young police officer Filippo (GIOVANNI RIBISI), a cop's son, offers to translate.
As the likes of Major Pini (MATTIA SBRAGIA), The Inspector (GIOVANNI VETTORAZZO) and the Public Prosecutor (ALBERTO DI STASIO) believe she's the member of a terrorist group and interrogate her about who she works for, Filippo begins to fall for and empathize with Philippa. Accordingly, he then plots to free her. Once he does, the two go on the run and look for help from Filippo's Father (REMO GIRONE) and Philippa's old friend, Regina (STEFANIA ROCCA), as the police pursue the unlikely pair.
Violence includes a bombing that kills four people (we don't see the actual deaths or aftermath) as well as a woman murdering a man via gunfire (we don't see the impact but do see the bloody results). Some of that material may be disturbing and/or suspenseful to viewers. In addition, various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, including a cop who helps spring the terrorist from custody.
Various characters drink or smoke and one is accused of being a drug dealer.
