Synopsis by Olivia Cantor
Marcus Lim writes and directs this espionage thriller set in Germany during the Cold War of the 1970s, a time when "Romeo agents" abound. These agents are men who work as spies for East Germany and cross to West Germany to seduce women working at various critical government positions in the hopes of collecting top-secret government data. One such woman is Sophie (Mari Bensel), who finds herself betrayed by her boyfriend Dieter (Nils Schulz) to share high-level security secrets and documents for the benefit of the other side.
