She meets the Bulgarian Ivan Zagubanski and gives him two suitcases with false bottoms, which contain a secret consignment of the latest issue of a newspaper.

The film showed an ideological, moral clash of people preparing a revolution with the guardians of the royal order.

Reviews
Diagonaldi Very well executed
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
