A team of operatives is on a mission to sink a cargo vessel carrying illegal weapons for a faction in the Angolan Civil War. But then, things start to go wrong. A dark look at the Janus-faced nature of international espionage and counter-terrorism, anchored loosely in the infamous 'Opération Satanique'. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
