An Italian woman (Argento) who lives in London and has a passionate affair with a former financial big gun (Madsen). She also had a second lover (a Leung), a contract killer who has to kill the big gun. Her second lover's wife (Yeoh) is behind the scenes, pulling the strings.
The new film from acclaimed and adventurous French filmmaker Olivier Assayas, "Boarding Gate" is an erotic noir-thriller boasting an exciting international cast.
Asia Argento plays sexy ex-prostitute Sandra, who is forced to flee London after a steamy S&M encounter with a debt ridden ex-lover (Michael Madsen) ends in violence. Fleeing to Hong Kong in search of a fresh start, she becomes involved with an attractive young couple, Lester (Carl Ng) and Sue (Kelly Lin), who promise to help her obtain papers and money. But nothing turns out as expected for Sandra, and she finds herself trapped in a sordid game of manipulation.
