Breaking and Entering

A landscape architect whose routine life in London feels hollow. He is observant and capable of deep empathy, but emotionally distant, especially from Liv and Bea. His growing curiosity about Amira and Miro drags him into a moral gray area, forcing a reckoning with his own values.

Will’s Swedish-American girlfriend and Bea’s mother. She is caring but increasingly overwhelmed by Bea’s irregular behavior and the strain it places on their relationship. She seeks support through counseling, hoping to rebuild trust.

A 14-year-old autistic girl with irregular sleep and eating patterns who appears fascinated by somersaults and gymnastics. Her challenges complicate family life and test Will and Liv’s ability to connect with her. Bea’s world is set apart from the adults’ concerns, yet it anchors the family’s dynamics.

A 15-year-old traceur whose acrobatic skills enable the burglars to enter offices. He is a Bosnian refugee growing up between two worlds, with his Bosnian Muslim mother Amira. His presence adds danger, vulnerability, and a human face to the crime.

Bosnian Muslim mother who works as a seamstress. She supports Miro and provides a window into immigrant resilience and hardship. Amira’s modest life and her relationship with Miro deepen the story’s emotional stakes.

Will’s partner at the architecture firm; they share the burden of the burglaries and must navigate professional pressures alongside personal shifts. Sandy represents a grounded, practical counterpoint to Will’s inner turmoil.

An Eastern European prostitute who crosses Will’s path during nightly stakeouts. Her presence introduces an uneasy, morally ambiguous touch to Will’s expanding circle of temptations and connections.
