Synopsis

A fading British intelligence unit attempts to reclaim its relevance by launching a desperate mission into East Germany. They recruit a former agent to verify reports of Soviet missiles, but the operation is hampered by bureaucratic infighting and outdated methods. This bleak look at the Cold War exposes the human cost of institutional vanity and the cold reality of espionage.
