Satan ist auf Gottes Seite (1983)
A top-level meeting of the Eastern secret services is taking place in Prague. Martin, an agent who knows all the tricks of the trade, is tasked with obtaining the minutes of the conference for the West German intelligence service. And he does so via Zimra, his former lover. She is now the right-hand woman of the GDR intelligence chief. A life-threatening assignment, but Martin accepts it. His condition: Zimra is to be taken to the West. The ageing West German spy chief accepts. He has only one goal in mind: to finally defeat his opponent in the East. He coldly plans to use Martin and Zimra for his purposes...
