- Synopsis
- 1956: The time of the Cold War. The Swiss national security monitors ten percent of its own citizens. As a compromising photograph exposes the Swiss star reporter Werner Eiselin as a Soviet spy, he is unable to withstand the pressure and he commits suicide in the interrogation room. Special agent Urs Rappold (Klaus-Maria Brandauer) from the counter-espionage department is plagued by doubt: Were the photographs really genuine? And why did the influential PR advisor, Dr. Harry Wind (Sebastian Koch), even have the photographs made? In a merciless cat and mouse game with Dr. Wind as a manipulative storyteller, Rappold realises that he himself is part of a conspiracy…
