Synopsis
2015 – Switzerland hosts last-chance nuclear talks between the US and Iran, with Europe, Russia and China. Swiss diplomat Alexandra leads the mission, where rising tensions and delegates’ hidden agendas threaten fragile diplomacy. But when her former love Payam—a threatened Iranian engineer—appears, Alexandra finds herself crossing lines to protect him. The world’s peace is at risk, how far will she go?
Our take
In this enthralling drama, the director Jean-Stéphane Bron take us to Geneva and the heart of the infernal machine that is diplomacy. With the brilliant Veerle Baetens in the main role, The Deal depicts the secrets of a power which weighs its words carefully. Despite the seeming calm of Lake Geneva, will Swiss neutrality survive?
