In Paris, an incident is seen through the eyes of several people, revealing racial tensions, social problems and relationships at breaking point.
It may not seem to the most distracted, but Code Inconnu is more about the racial and discriminatory issue in France than properly a loving drama between the two main characters (Juliette Binoche and Thierry Neuvic). The film takes an obvious political side, really evident, but maintains a balance between what can be seen as the closest to reality, without being too naive.
It has some dull and predictable moments, namely when it enters into the personal problems of the members of the privileged class, which although they have all the legitimacy to feel bad and with doubts about themselves, do not fit very well in the narrative.
Each character gives to the viewer a personal dimension about their past, present and what will become of their future, inserted in a multicultural society that still struggles for equality and opportunities.
