Maurice Bavaud
Spring 1945, Heinrich Zwygart, Swiss ambassador to Germany flees bombed-out Berlin after eight years of service in the capital of the Reich. This is the end of a terrible mandate, during which he had to make fatal compromises to preserve the neutrality and security of his country. He went through the war, but will he survive the peace?
Leandre goes looking for a stranger named Tristan to give him some bad news about a mutual friend. However, when they meet, Leandre fails to deliver his message, which makes Tristan believe that they met by pure chance. They form a bond, but the true nature of what links them to the same boy remains ambiguous.

Frank, el antihéroe de esta historia, en muchos sentidos trágico pero ante todo extremadamente real, se camufla a la perfección en esta decoración de belleza impersonal. Su vida está consagrada únicamente al trabajo. Cada uno de sus gestos está escrupulosamente programado, marcado por una rutina que se convierte en una obsesión. En su vida no hay lugar para la improvisación ni la imaginación; a sus ojos solo el materialismo y una adicción al trabajo masoquista merecen su respeto.
