Outline: Code 46 is a love story set in a Brave New World-type
near-future where cities are heavily controlled and only accessible through
checkpoints. People cannot travel unless they have "papelles,"
a special travel permit issued by the totalitarianistic government, the
"Sphinx". Outside these cities, the desert has taken over and
shanty towns are jammed with non-citizens - people without papelles forced
to live primitive lives. William is a family man who works as a government
investigator. When he is sent to Shanghai to solve a case of fake papelles,
he meets a woman named Maria. Although he realizes she is behind the forgeries,
he cannot help but fall completely in love with her. He hides her crime
and they have a wild, passionate affair that can only last as long as
his papelles: 24 hours. Back home, William is obessed with the memory
of Maria. When the original investigation is inevitably re-opened a week
later and William is sent back to finish the work he started, he tracks
her down, only to discover she has been accused of a Code 46 violation
and any further relationship is impossible. |
