Plot Summary

Mike Church (Sir Kenneth Branagh) is a Los Angeles private detective who specializes in finding missing people. He takes on the case of a mute woman named Grace (Dame Emma Thompson), who is suffering from a total amnesia and doesn't even know her name. She keeps having nightmares involving the murder of a pianist named Margaret Strauss (Dame Emma Thompson) by her husband, Roman (Sir Kenneth Branagh), in 1949. In an attempt to solve the mystery about her identity and her nightmares, Mike accepts the help of antiquary Franklyn Madson (Derek Jacobi), who arrives to offer his services as a hypnotist. The hypnosis sessions soon begin to reveal some surprises. Written by Sami Al-Taher

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia This movie was shot entirely in color. It was decided during editing, however, that the movement between past and present could be made clearer by printing the Roman and Margaret scenes in black-and-white. Director Sir Kenneth Branagh comments on the DVD that the costume and set designers were disappointed by this, because they would have used different colors for those scenes, which would photograph better in black-and-white, had they known this.

Quotes Cozy Carlisle: Someone's either a smoker or a nonsmoker. There's no in-between. The trick is to find out which one you are and be that.
Mike Church: Yeah, well, you know, I'm - I'm trying to quit. So...
Cozy Carlisle: Don't tell me you're trying to quit. People who say they are trying to quit are basically pussies who cannot commit. Find out which one you are. Be that. That's it. If you're a nonsmoker, you'll know.
