Why we chose it

Philip Seymour Hoffman gives his last leading performance in a gripping adaptation of a novel by John le Carré, the master of spy fiction. Wars are waged in cold blood and every riddle hides another secret, in a thriller where the tension builds in a whisper.

Synopsis

In Hamburg, a few years after 9/11, a young man of Chechen and Russian descent turns up in the city’s Muslim community, claiming a fortune his father left him. German and American intelligence start tracking his every move, because nobody knows whether he’s a persecuted victim or a dangerous extremist. When a German human rights lawyer sets out to stop his deportation, she risks her career and her own safety.
