Director Antoni Krauze takes the helm for this adaptation of former Soviet GRU spy Victor Suvorov's landmark memoir Inside the Aquarium. A world-class spy who gathered state secrets and classified information for the clandestine GRU unit more secretive than even the KGB, Suvorov's team operated out of headquarters known as "The Aquarium." For anyone who ever wondered about the tactics used to mold the personalities of individuals employed by a totalitarian empire, Suvorov's story offers a compelling account of the Cold War-era intrigue.
