In 1981 Colonel Grigoriev (Emir Kusturica) of the KGB (real name Vladimir Vetrov), disenchanted with what the communist ideal has become under Brezhnev, decides he is going to change the world. Discreetly, he makes contact with a French engineer working for Thompson in Moscow, Pierre, (Guillaume Canet) and little by little passes on documents to him - mainly concerning the United States - information which would constitute the most important Cold War espionage operation known to date. During a period of two years, French President Francois Mitterrand (Philippe Magnan) was to personally vet the documents supplied by this source in Moscow, to whom the French Secret Service gave the codename ‘Farewell’.
