Summary

In divided Cold War-era Berlin, a spy returns home to find his wife inexplicably distant and demanding a divorce. As he spirals into jealous obsession and hires a detective to uncover her secret, the investigation reveals something far stranger and more disturbing than an ordinary affair. Andrzej Zulawski's surreal psychological horror chronicles the violent disintegration of a marriage into nightmare.
