Breaking and Entering (2006) is a drama written and directed by Anthony Minghella. The film is a meditation on emotional abandonment and adultery — the protagonist experiences rejection while his girlfriend feels isolated as they struggle to cope with an autistic daughter; he falls in love with a woman whose son is involved in stealing his computers; the woman tries to blackmail him with photographs of them in bed in exchange for his promise to not charge her son for theft; he refuses to give in and hurt his girlfriend in the process by revealing the betrayal. It is a fable on how love requires constant, consistent effort and discipline before it can flourish and be nourished.
