Farewell

FAREWELL is an intricate and highly intelligent thriller pulled from the pages of history—about an ordinary man thrust into the biggest theft of Soviet information of the Cold War. Ronald Reagan referred to this previously unknown piece of history as "one of the most important espionage cases of the twentieth century." The story of FAREWELL begins in1981, following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Pierre Froment (Guillaume Canet), a French businessman based in Moscow, strikes up an unlikely friendship with Grigoriev (Emir Kusturica), a senior KGB officer dissatisfied with what the Communist ideal has become under Brezhnev. Grigoriev begins passing highly sensitive information about the Soviet spy network in the United States to Froment.
