Page "Heaven (2002 film)" Paragraph 1

The film is set in Turin, Italy.

It opens with a prologue sequence showing the young Italian Carabinieri clerk Filippo ( Ribisi ) learning to fly a helicopter using a flight simulator.

When he accidentally crashes the virtual helicopter by ascending too dramatically, his instructor tells him, " In a real helicopter, you can't just keep going up and up ," prompting Filippo to ask, " How high can you go?

" The film then cuts to Phillipa ( Blanchett ), who is preparing to plant a bomb in the downtown office of a high-ranking businessman.

Although everything goes according to her plan, the trash can in which she places the bomb is emptied by a janitor immediately after she leaves and later explodes in an elevator, killing four people.
