What Farewell Is About

The early eighties, at the tightest point of the Cold War. Grigoriev, a senior KGB officer, can no longer stomach what the system has become and starts leaking documents about the Soviet spy network in the West. He does it not for money but because he wants his country to change. His channel is an ordinary French engineer living in Moscow, a man with no intelligence training who finds himself in the middle of history. Adapted from the real leak known as the Farewell dossier. Carion is interested less in action than in fear and in what two families pay.
