    Vaguely see the shadow of Le Carre and Green, there are not many such films in the 21st century. The Berlin Wall has reached 20 years, and the two camps in the world are increasingly integrated, but the confrontation between individuals and institutions continues. Is this movie any good? It's all up to you to believe it or not.
