Synopsis
Gouzenko, an officer at the Soviet Union Embassy, deciphers coded messages and is a first-hand witness to Soviet espionage activities . He starts realising that, in comparison with the embassy's sordid atmosphere, the Canadians are happy people, capable of enjoying themselves even in the middle of the Second World War.
