One of the finest movies I have seen lately

It is a very good movie. Mixing spy story with romance yet spy thing is dominant thing.

It is a vert "today" movie although story takes place in 1980s. The plot is very good crafted. Young man appears in Alsatia stating he is a missing son of an old woman, who left him in orphanage years ago since he was a child of a Soviet officer while Soviets "freed" Poland and she was a German.

Then we slowly learn that he is not the man he says he is. The true is he is a Polish spy sent to infiltrate opposition trying to get to France. The plot thickens when the true man he impersonates tries to find his mother.

What is very good about this movie it brings attention to Polish intelligence working abroad in time of Solidarity and later. So many secrets remain still hidden. Some may affect today events.

The cast is very good. Director does a very good job. Filming is also very good and music score is pretty. All is set in 1980s both in France and Poland and you have impression you are back in time. And colors are like on ORWO photo films.

Very good movie with a very interesting main character.
