Dr. Martin Harris arrives in Berlin with his wife Liz to attend the summit on biotechnology. When they reach hotel, Martin cannot find his briefcase. He decides to return to the airport in order to find it and takes a taxi. On the way to the airport, he has an accident. The taxi crashes off a bridge and falls into the river.
Gina, the taxi driver, pulls him out of the water and leaves avoiding police as she is an illegal immigrant from Bosnia. After four days in coma, Martin returns to the hotel, but his wife does not recognize him. Moreover, she is with another man who she claims is her husband. Martin’s situation is pitiful; he has not got a passport, and has nobody who can recognize him.
Through the nurse at his hospital, who later gets killed by an assassin sent to kill Martin, he reaches Herr Jürgen. Jürgen helps him to find information about summit and Martin himself. Martin lives through numerous adventures and faces an incredible truth about his past. He remembers everything and we finally know the truth.
There is an unexpected twist in the end. And here comes the spoiler: it is revealed that this grandiose plan - arriving in Berlin three months earlier, installing a bomb, creating different identities were done just for one purpose: to kill Prof. Bressler who developed a genetically modified corn capable of surviving any climate.
Why on earth to complicate everything to this level, when “fake” Martin (Liz’s so-called husband) has already stood next to professor in his laboratory? Would not it be easier to kill him or get his files there, when they were so close to him? Why the characters went through all these painful adventures including installation of the bomb when they so easily reached Bressler? It is unclear to me. Nevertheless, generally film is a nice watch. Enjoy!
