Victor, the Polish ambassador to Uruguay, is pained by the sudden death of his beloved wife. Visiting his home country, he meets with the Russian Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, Oleg. They had made friends 20 years earlier when Victor was an activist of the political underground and Oleg was a young Soviet diplomat in Poland. Their long-time close friendship is burdened with two suspicions. On the one hand, Victor thinks that Oleg could be delegated by his embassy to infiltrate the Polish political opposition. On the other hand, Oleg’s intimate friendship with Victor’s deceased wife suggests that the wife may have betrayed Victor with the charming Russian friend.
