Director: Gilles Bourdos

Passion, art and politics fuel this fascinating Parisian drama that moves back and forth in time as a woman tries to solve the mysterious disappearance of Alfred Katz. Katz--working man, Trotskyite and poet--arrives in Paris in the late 1930's and quickly gets caught up in events far beyond his comprehension and control. As Stalin settles scores inside Russia and assassinates Trotskyites abroad, Katz begins a passionate affair with Mila, Surrealist artist Man Ray's favorite nude model. The stellar cast includes Anouk Grinberg, Xavier Beauvois and Grégoire Colin (The Dreamlife Of Angels) as Alfred Katz.
