Storyline
Set in 1950s Moscow, Katya, a communist, covertly works as a spy for the Americans during the Cold War arms race. Tasked with her most significant assignment yet—to extract secrets from the ascendant government figure Alexander—she is taken aback when love unexpectedly blossoms between them. Navigating the complexities of reconciling her feelings for Alexander with her communist convictions demands the ultimate sacrifice: her life. This sacrifice remains a hidden truth that Alexander only unravels three decades later.

“With novels one has more control and more satisfaction. The best thing about filmmaking is the team work, and the worst thing about filmmaking is it’s a team.”
