The series is scheduled to take place in the spring of 2021, when the world is sinking into chaos of growing international conflicts. The heroine is Ewa Oginiec, an intelligence agent who wants to escape from her past. She dreams of peace, but unfortunately fate has other plans for her. When her partner, also an agent nicknamed Skiner, is exposed, Ewa is drawn into a whirlwind of intrigues and conspiracies. We will see him in the main role Lena Góra (“Imago”, “Night in Kindergarten”), winner of the Golden Angel Bella Women and an acting award at the Polish Film Festival in Gdynia.
He is the director of the Max platform series Jan P. Matuszyńskicreator of such works as “The Last Family”, “The King” and “Less There Be No Traces”.
“The script was created under the watchful eye of Janek, who is not interested in what is fashionable, carbon copies, or what should be said. I learned to speak Russian – not only my lines, I also wanted to understand the language and the psychology behind it. I had three teachers: from accent, language and general Russian coaching. I spent six months fully immersing myself in the world of espionage. (…) I met with various consultants, real agents and people we cannot disclose. We did a series about a female agent without trying to do Bond in a skirt. We wanted to honestly look at the psychology and struggles of a woman who is the best at her job,” said Lena Góra, who plays Ewa.

“(The story) is primarily about people from Polish intelligence, and this is a very specific job that requires total dedication. This series shows the costs associated with this work. It is fiction, but it contains so many probable elements that this story could happen,” says Andrzej Konopka.
