In Cold War Moscow, a female spy steals secrets from an idealistic politician – and falls in love with him.

In 1950s Moscow, communist Katya secretly spies for the Americans in the Cold War arms race. When she lands her biggest assignment, stealing secrets from rising government star Alexander, the last thing she expects is to fall in love with him. Reconciling her passion for him with her beliefs about communism means making the greatest sacrifice – of her life – a sacrifice that Alexander only uncovers thirty years later.

“Ferguson delivers a mightily assured performance.” – Etc-etera

“Rebecca Ferguson, Sam Reid, Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Charles Dance are all first rate in writer-director Shamim Sarif’s smart-looking, involving and intriguing old-style Cold War romantic spy thriller. Everything is good in a generally smooth and engrossing ride.” – DerekWinnert.com
