Synopsis

Wiktor, a former underground activist, Poland's ambassador to Uruguay, is devastated by his wife's death. When he returns home for her funeral, he meets the Russian deputy foreign minister with whom he had been friends 25 years earlier. But Oleg had been so fascinated by the activities of the Solidarity movement that Wiktor never could shed the suspicion the Russian had been sent to infiltrate the Polish underground. He also was never sure whether his wife had not had an affair with the handsome and charming Russian. Now he is attempting to shed light on those mysteries and arrive at the truth.
