Synopsis
Spoiler shield
A French industrialist, Bernard Corain, who frequently travels on business to the German Democratic Republic, is contacted by the SDECE to establish a "relationship" with a high-ranking East German official who wishes to leave his country clandestinely... Although risky and even dangerous, the case seems, at first glance, quite straightforward...
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
