***SLIGHT SPOILERS*** This is the story of Anna, a Swedish woman married to the Danish ambassador i Marocco. She has a daughter, but isn't so happy with her current situation and her marriage. She goes back home, and on the plane, she meets some kind of criminal who is supposed to be braught back to jail in Denmark by some a policeman. She helps the criminal to run away in Rome and is later kidnapped by him and guess what happens: they fall in love and she seems plans to leave her family and her daughter (who she didn't want to leave with the father in the beginning) and then, after a few dramatic events i the end, she finds out that it wasn't such a good idea. I watched this movie in order to stay awake, but it is also a perfect hangover-movie. A bored out upper class woman doing stupid things isn't much af a story, especially not when you can't feel the least sorry for her or care about what will happen. Anna is also the stereotype of a Scandinavian; depressed, with a bad marriage, tired of her life at home and addicted to warmer countries.

Maybe Dutch isn't the world's most beautiful language, but neither is English, and it's really sad that a Dutch director makes a film in Holland were everyone speaks English. I could understand it if the director was American, but not now. Apart from that, this isn't agood movie, and some of the lines are really bizarre (f. ex the scene in the elevator:
- Malaria, moving north! - El nino, sir. Is it funny? No. And it isn't more understandable because it's in English. According to this movie, everyone in Amsterdam seems to be either prostitutes or drug atticts or both, except a few policemen and hotel managers
