A high-ranking Soviet defector bargains for his freedom with a list revealing the names of Russian spies planted throughout Europe. Originally called "The Serpent".

An interview with Marie Dubois

A trio of people are presented as “case histories” by a lecturer -- and we see them not only in their work environments, but also in terms of the cinematic role models that have helped shape their self-images.

Trailer for The Serpent. A ruthless gang led by private detective Joseph Plender is extorting rich people and famous fashion photographer Vincent Mandel seems the next victim. He is married to H l ne, daughter of one of the richest people in Europe, but not quite happily. In fact the marriage is on the brink of a divorce and a judge is deciding who will take the two children. Can H l ne take them to Germany or will they stay with Vincent? Vincent has a lot on his mind and he improvises when model Sofia Kippiani comes to his studio, but his makeup crew doesn't show up. Before he knows it, he is accused of a rape. Things go worse and worse for Vincent, he sees his entire life slipping away and, most importantly, he might lose his children. But why does his former schoolmate Joseph Plender seek contact with Vincent and even solve a nasty problem for him? Does Plender want something more than money?
