Espion(s)

Vincent, airport baggage-handler, is in a fix: his colleague has just died in an explosion as he was rummaging through a diplomatic bag, without authorisation. To avoid prison he agrees to collaborate with the secret services. Vincent now has to get close to an English businessman, apparently under Syrian influence.
