Farewell
Some secrets have the power to change the course of history.
Directed by Christian Carion
A tense, cerebral Cold War espionage thriller grounded in historical fact, exploring the moral weight of betrayal and ideological disillusionment.
An intricate thriller about an ordinary man thrust into the biggest theft of Soviet information of the Cold War. Right after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. A French businessman based in Moscow, Pierre Froment, makes an unlikely connection with Grigoriev, a senior KGB officer disenchanted with what the Communist ideal has become under Brezhnev. Grigoriev begins passing Froment highly sensitive information about the Soviet spy network in the US.
