5 x 60 minutes.
An ambitious TV series set against the Cold War. The story moves from the occupied, post-war world of THE THIRD MAN and ends in the present with a murder investigation.

It is a drama about the making of the modern world but most importantly it is the story of a group of characters and – starting from a simple premise – shows how one act of humanity in the hell of ruined Berlin in 1945 changes a man’s life forever. It is about how that act has repercussions over sixty years later and how lives were consumed in a war that never had a battlefield, or a trench…
Company Pictures. George Faber, Charlie Pattinson and Willow Grylls.
