Contents Summary
CIA learns from a Hungarian border guard, who escaped to the West, about a book entitled "Black Dossier" which contains information on enemy agents. The book helps to filter personae non grata right on the border. To get hold of this dossier, CIA offers the Hungarian wife of an imprisoned French terrorist to free her husband if she helps get the dossier. The Hungarian intelligence services know about the plan and let the women photograph of a fake dossier. Meanwhile the terrorist husband kills himself in the prison. CIA obtains the desired information at the cost of killing the woman. The film presents the steps of the operation: intruding in the center of enemy intelligence agency, obtaining and evaluating the information and planning a counter move. Screenplay based on András Berkesi's short story and direction by János Lestár. Starring Sylvia Sunyovszky and Miklós Kalocsay.
