Synopsis
The film is set in a large western European city that bears the hallmarks of Berlin. Using a pseudonym, Bulgarian super agent Emil Boev is hired by the company Zodiac to cover up a spy ring. Boev is a 'true agent', smart, sexy and fitted out with every weapon necessary. After a year he wins the trust of his boss Evans and tries to flush out the spy ring. He is supported by his attractive assistant Edit, but she, however, is playing a double game. The Swinging Sixties style of film makes for a convincing film, along with its dynamic, frivolously-cheeky, almost jazzy camera work that is reminiscent of the very best of the Nouvelle Vague. The film is based on a novella by Bogomil Raynov, whose stories about the agent Emil Boev enjoyed great success. The Bulgarian cinematic icon Georgi Georgiev-Getz plays Boev convincingly and with great charm.
