Farewell

Based on an incredible true story, 'Farewell' is an espionage film about events that changed world history. In Moscow 1981, Colonel Sergei Gregoriev (Emir Kusturica) of the KGB, disenchanted with the Communist ideal, decides he is going to bring down the system. Discreetly, he makes contact with Pierre Froment (Guillaume Canet), a French engineer working in Moscow and little by little passes on documents to him - mainly concerning the United States - containing information which would constitute the most important Cold War espionage operation known to date. Codenamed 'Farewell', Gregoriev and Froment's life-threatening work sets the wheels in motion for the downfall of Soviet Russia.
