A woman trapped in her everyday life: a love story that she would most like to erase; alone against the impenetrable outside world; an inner pain like an abcess that is freed into the glance of one who welcomes it.

A making-of documentary featuring interviews with director Michael Haneke, actor Juliette Binoche, and producer Marin Karmitz, as well as on-set footage of cast and crew of "Code Unknown".

Desperate to support her family and earn enough money to get her husband out of jail, a woman with an unusual crying style becomes a professional mourner.
