''Breaking and Entering'' is a drama film written and directed by Anthony Minghella.

Will Francis (Creator/JudeLaw) is a landscape architect living in London with his Swedish-American girlfriend Liv Ullman (Creator/RobinWright) and her adolescent autistic daughter Bea (Poppy Rogers), a talented gymnast whose increasing difficulties with sleeping and eating are putting a strain on Will and Liv's relationship. The offices of Will and his partner Sandy (Creator/MartinFreeman) are repeatedly burgled by fifteen-year-old Mirsade "Miro" Simic (Rafi Gavron) and his friend Zoran (Creator/EdWestwick), who work for a ring of Bosnian-speaking criminals. One night Will catches Miro in the act and follows him to his home, where he lives with his mother Amira (Creator/JulietteBinoche), a Bosnian Muslim who fled Sarajevo with him after his Serbian father was murdered in the Bosnian War. Rather than turn Miro in, Will begins an affair with Amira.

!!''Breaking and Entering'' contains examples of:
* BilingualDialogue: When Amira and Miro argue, Amira switches back and forth between Bosnian and English, while Miro sticks to English.
* LostPetGrievance: Bea cries when one of the inhabitants of the family's fishtank dies.
* TheStakeout: Will and Sandy sit in a car outside the offices, waiting for the thief to show up. Sandy gives up after the cleaning lady Erika (Caroline Chikezie) spots them and yells at them for spying on her, but Will keeps it up until he spots Miro.
