The Tesseract, is a 2003 drama film starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. Based on a novel by Alex Garland, it is directed by Oxide Pang.
The film examines four seemingly unconnected lives brought together through a theft in a Bangkok hotel room. The interactions of an English drug dealer, a British psychologist, a Thai assassin, and an abused 13-year old boy demonstrate that life is so complex that even the smallest events can have enormous, even fatal consequences (ie the butterfly effect).
[edit] Plot
Sean, a runner for a drug gang, has checked in at the seedy, rundown Heaven Hotel in Bangkok, to await arrival of a package of heroin. Another guest is Rosa, psychologist who is researching slum children. In the room below Rosa is Lita, a female assassin who is waiting to intercept the package Sean is waiting for. Tying them all together, is the 13-year-old bellboy, Wit, a streetwise, light-fingered kid.
