Pierre, a White Russians’ grandson is wondering: “Were my grand-parents Soviet spies?”. He was driven to this question after some unexplained facts in the history of his Russian family who was expelled from France in 1948 by the French counter-espionage (DST).
Spurred by a friend, Louise, he follows the tracks back, uncovering a forgotten past, between France and Russia, various secret services (KGB, MI6, DST), today and yesterday. Driven by a couple of “heroes” like in a spy story, the film goes through the memories – personal as well as the one kept in the official archives – of the hidden history of our 20th century. Or how the Cold War and the Iron Curtain are not just words in History books. Lily and Constantin are also Vladimir’s grand-parents, the director.
