A small German anti-terrorist agency does some spying.

It's not as stylish as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but it's much more effective at getting the audience emotionally involved. It starts with an almost overwhelming barrage of information, which steadily sifts and clarifies throughout the film until by the final scene everything's pared down to hanging on one or two details. And then the ending punches you in the gut.

Un inmigrante, mitad checheno y mitad ruso, llega a la comunidad islámica de Hamburgo reclamando la herencia de su padre. A partir de ese momento despierta el interés de las agencias de seguridad alemana y norteamericana, que están decididas a averiguar cuál es la verdadera identidad de ese hombre: si se trata de una víctima oprimida o de un extremista con tendencias violentas.
