James Gray, uno dei più interessanti registi americani della sua generazione (Two Lovers, I padroni della notte, Little Odessa), classe 1970, affronta per la prima volta un film ambientato nel passato.
I protagonisti saranno Joaquin Phoenix, al suo quarto film con Grey, Marion Cotillard e Jeremy Renner.
The story of a woman immigrating from Poland (Marion Cotillard) whose sister falls ill while sailing to Ellis Island. She is then forced to trade sexual favours for medicine and food to keep her sister alive. Once they land, she is warned to keep quiet about what happened and though she does, she is given immigration papers that deem her a woman with bad morals. With no place to go, she falls prey to a charming sleazebag (Joaquin Phoenix), who persuades her to turn tricks in New York. Jeremy Renner is lined up to play the sleazebag’s cousin, a magician who sweeps the young woman off her feet and gives her hopes of escaping her life.
