A documentary about the Austro-British photographer Edith Tudor-Hart, Tracking Edith follows filmmaker Peter Stephan Jungk’s journey to understand the motivations of his great aunt who, while living a double life as a spy for the KGB, recruited Kim Philby and helped create the Cambridge Five, the Soviet Union’s most successful spy ring in the United Kingdom, which infiltrated the very top of British intelligence (and inspired John le Carré’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy). As Jungk learns more about his aunt and her work, his film demands the question: why is she not recognized alongside Kim Philby and the Cambridge Five as one of the spies that changed the world?

Pero, empieza a recibir unos paquetes anónimos que contienen cintas de vídeo, grabadas desde la calle, y unos dibujos inquietantes cuyo significado es un misterio. No sabe quién los envía; sin embargo, las secuencias que aparecen en las cintas se hacen cada vez más personales, lo que sugiere que el remitente le conoce desde hace algún tiempo. Georges siente que una amenaza se cierne sobre él y su familia, pero, puesto que no hay evidencias de delito alguno, la policía se niega a ayudarlo.
