Riga, 1988. As the USSR and Eastern Bloc leaders sense the end, Renars, shattered after his release from an asylum, discovers Tiina is staging a play based on their story. Realising she hasn’t forgotten him, he makes a risky deal with Maris for a jeans smuggling operation involving agents from other socialist countries. The mission reunites Renars, Tiina, and Maris in East Berlin, forcing them to confront life-altering choices and the question: will they outsmart the KGB, or be used by it?
