Synopsis
Leaving Germany for France, the son of a diplomat is questioned and searched at the border for apparently no good reason. Safely in Paris, the medical student finds that a mummified head has mysteriously been placed in his suitcase. Intrigued and fascinated, he secretly puts his forensics studies to use investigating who the head belonged to, while being slowly drawn into post-Cold War political intrigue.
