action

Max Richard, a contract killer of the National Socialists who was supposed to murder Josef Stalin , Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt 43 years earlier , is hiding with the young Françoise in what is now Paris . In flashbacks, he describes the attack to the young Parisian who strayed into his apartment as a neighbor . He was brought to Tehran as the undertaker of a previously murdered Persian . Max also kills the dead man's lawyer, Gérard Simon. But Simon's interpreter Marie and the young Russian Andrej find out about him. The two have no time for a romance, but thwart the assassination attempt. Andrej, who worries about the safety of the young woman, sends Marie, who is in love with him, to France.

When Max wanted to publish his memoirs in today's Paris with the help of the lawyer Legraine, Françoise - now Max's lover - pursued his own goals. She claims to work for his former client Scherner and only spared Max out of pity. The paths of Marie and Andrei, who met in Tehran in 1943, and of Marie's daughter Nathalie and police inspector Foche, who hunted the masterminds, also cross in Paris. During a plane hijack initiated by Scherner, Nathalie also meets Andrej. Foche, who wants to protect Nathalie's mother, is murdered from behind. Max gets scared when Marie, a former witness, is killed after a brief reunion with Andrej. Then Françoise takes him to a new hiding place. Andrej visits Nathalie and learns from her that Marie had loved him all these years. She had told her daughter about swimming together and a trip to see the dolphins, but these experiences were only her dreams. In his new hiding place, Max is shot by Scherner's men. Legraine is now interrogating Scherner and Françoise; possibly he will negotiate the manuscript with them. Andrei travels back to Moscow.

Since the production was aimed at the international market, stars were hired for the film. Initially Robert Redford had expressed interest, but was prevented from shooting. The producers hired the French Claude Jade to play the shady Françoise and her compatriot Alain Delon as idealistic inspector Foche. Curd Juergens played his last film role as Max's enterprising lawyer Legraine. However, he died before the German film version was completed, so that his role had to be dubbed for the FRG version by Ernst Wilhelm Borchert .

The Soviet actors Natalja Belochwostikowa (she also played Marie's daughter Nathalie), Igor Kostolewski and Armen Dschigarchanjan played their roles on the time levels in 1943 and 1980.
