- Synopsis
- This fascinating espionage/ spy story introduces to us a slice of history most of us have forgotten about or are unaware of.
  
  In April 1947, the newborn Indonesia sent their very first delegation to Cairo, Egypt to carry out a significant mission: to gain the Egyptian government’s recognition for Indonesia's sovereignty and independence. The delegates were initially unaware of the fact that they got in over their heads in a complex scheme of political calamities as the Dutch Ambassador will do whatever it takes to thwart the mission, knowing very well that the recognition of the newly established state of Indonesia by another country would prevent the Dutch to colonize the country once more.
  What promised to be an ordinary diplomatic activity turns out to be a highly dangerous exposure to kidnapping, bribery, espionage and even murder.
