Plot

A Chechen Muslim illegally immigrates to Hamburg and becomes a person of interest for a covert government team tracking the movements of potential terrorists.

Sinekatalog’s take

A tired spymaster works a delicate case in Hamburg, where intelligence games and human cost overlap. The pace is deliberate and the mood grey, but the late lead performance is quietly superb. For those who prefer le Carré's patience to gadgets.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
