Thiel le rouge (un agent si discret) (2018)

A Swissair Caravelle caught fire in flight and disintegrated shortly after take-off from Kloten. The date was 4 September 1963. In the wreckage, rescuers found the wallet of a certain Reynold Thiel, a businessman, fashion designer, virtuoso pianist and composer. This man from Neuchâtel was unknown to the general public. The Federal Council, on the other hand, knows him well. Over the years, the political police have compiled a voluminous file on his name that is circulated among the members of the government. Because he is a communist? He denied it in the mid-1930s when the feds took an interest in him. Then the bloodhounds had trouble keeping track of him. They don't know that he fights in Spain in the International Brigades, then in Paris and in the Morvan maquis against the Nazi occupation. When the policemen find him after the war, Thiel has become a businessman and travels to Moscow, Peking, Bucharest... They spy on him relentlessly, until he dies. What are they looking for? What is his secret?
