Synopsis
Gábor Csiky is released from prison after five years. Once out of prison he follows a tip-off from a fellow inmate and presents himself to the photographer Háber, whose shop Fotó Háber, a flourishing photographic company, is only a front, in reality it is one of the most important branches of a spy ring. Csiky quickly gains Háber’s trust and is deployed in the mission R-100, the most dangerous to date, the aim of which is to get hold of an invention vital to the national economy. The mission is a success, but Csiky fatally shoots a policeman. During the hand-over of microfilms a mix-up happens and the organisation becomes nervous: is there a mole in Fotó Háber?

Directors Biography
Zoltán Varkonyi, a film director and actor much-employed between the 1930s and 1970s, created in Foto Háber a spy film that in terms of its dramaturgy and form owes much to the crime film genre. With comparatively few starkly distinctive ideological references and a virtually universal understanding of genre, this beautifully-shot film playfully serves its public – on either side of the Iron Curtain.
