About :
On May 7, 1974, Chancellor Willy Brandt unexpectedly resigned. The unmasking of the GDR spy Günter Guillaume two weeks earlier is considered to be the cause. In 2024, Pierre Boom, the agent's son, was given his first insight into over 600 West German counterintelligence documents. This led to a search for clues in Norway, on the Côte d'Azur and in the Berlin area. April 1974: Germany is divided. The spy Günter Guillaume is unmasked in the Bonn Chancellery. Chancellor Willy Brandt resigns on May 7. Germans in West and East are dismayed. Why did East Berlin target this chancellor in particular? Like no politician before him, Brandt worked to improve relations between the two German states. Or are there completely different interests behind the espionage mission in the Chancellery? For Pierre Boom, the agent's son, the arrest and resignation are a shock. He had no idea of his parents' double life, no connection to the GDR, and as a young man he was a big fan and supporter of Willy Brandt. Now his parents are in prison and their role model has fallen. An abyss for the son of the traitor, who is being brought to the GDR, which is unknown to him. Pierre Boom has now been given his first look at over 600 documents from West German counter-espionage. It becomes clear what enormous effort the Guillaume couple went to in order to disguise themselves and how they made a crucial mistake. The documentary goes in search of clues in Norway, the Côte d'Azur and the Berlin area. Who played which role? Why was son Pierre lured to East Berlin in 1975? Why should he definitely not leave the GDR again? At first glance, it is a game of cat and mouse played by the secret services, with disguise, deception and fibbing. A closer look reveals the fanaticism of the GDR's state security, which almost led to tragedy.
