An unknown French physicist working on energy, Clément Tibert, was kidnapped by a KGB agent named Boris, disguised as a symphony conductor, on his way to the International Thermonuclear Conference in Vienna in 1957 and taken to the Soviet Union. Later, under KGB coercion, Tibert worked for over 10 years at the Soviet Atomic Energy Institute. Sixteen years later, Tibert (under the alias Harikov) was part of a Soviet scientific delegation visiting the newly constructed thermonuclear facility in London, when he was kidnapped by British counterintelligence agents in a staged car accident and taken to the hospital where he was injected with a drug, rendering him unconscious. Soviet embassy officials rushed to the scene, and the doctors declared, "Har is dead." Soon after, they falsely claimed he had been cremated. The British authorities wanted Tibert to identify KGB agents among British scientists, to which Tibert agreed. These agents were arrested one by one. The British counterintelligence provided Tibert with a reward, a self-defense pistol, and allowed him to return to France. Once the KGB learned that Tibert was not dead and had defected, they ordered their operatives to track him down and kill him. The moment Tibert left the British intelligence agency, he found himself surrounded by the KGB. He hid and fled for his life. He escaped to France and met his remarried wife Maria in a small restaurant, filled with emotion. After a brief reunion, he had to continue fleeing to avoid KGB pursuit. He accidentally discovered that Boris was also in France, and at great risk, managed to sneak into Boris's residence while he was recording for the Geneva radio station, uncovering the musical scores used for espionage as evidence to send to the French security agency. The French authorities arrested Boris. The KGB, unable to kill Tibert, had no choice but to spare his life in hopes of exchanging him for Boris's release. What fate awaited Tibert afterwards remains unpredictable.
