A spy films a spy who spied on a saint. What could go wrong?
A documentary filmmaker is filming an old Securitate officer with a hidden camera. He suspects that, 60 years ago, the officer had followed and photographed a famous monk turned civilian – a real character, now about to be sanctified. The former spy is now being spied upon, but things turn out badly.
