action
The CIA placed Alice as a trader at the RBI bank in Monaco in order to obtain information about the Russian oligarch Ivan Rostovsky. Moïse from the FSB also recruits Alice to fuel his boss' career with information about Ivan Rostovsky . Ivan Rostovsky is also interested in Alice, partly because of her ability to build money laundering loops. However, his security chief is suspicious.
When Moïse wants to meet Alice, they both fall in love. However, they do not know anything about the other person's activities as agents. Because of the information about Ivan Rostovsky, he has to leave Russia and go into exile in London .
Alice and Moïse meet again in a luxury restaurant in Montreal . You sit at two different tables with the people you are talking to. Alice is informed that Moïse is an agent of the FSB and Moïse learns that he actually worked for the CIA. It happened like a Möbius strip , in which the outside and inside form a common surface.
Shortly afterwards, a poison attack was carried out on Alice in Brussels in revenge for Rostovsky's expulsion. She survived, but suffered severe brain damage. Moïse rushes to her in the hospital, but only finds Alice sitting on her bed with a blank look. When he takes her in his arms, after a brief hesitation she returns the hug and it seems that she remembers him.
