When a friends’ couple confesses they had always looked up to them, as an example of life in common, Mary and Nicolas announce their divorce. Something that was sensed from the first scenes, in some comments, looks and, above all, in the extra bed they have asked for their hotel room. Although it isn’t explained how they got to that situation, as the scenes go by, it becomes clear who’s the one wanting to end the relationship and who’s not. It’s about an intimae intrigue that is cleared out on the long conversations that often take place on the threshold that separates the couple’s beds.

1936, The Popular Front wins elections, the Spanish Civil War begins.
Fiador, a young General from the czarist Army and exile, lives in Paris
along with his Greek wife Arsinoe, an artist focused on her painting. He participates in a general chaos: while she sympathized with her communist neighbors, he carries out secret missions enjoying the confusion of those who surround him. He doesn’t try to hide the fact that he is a spy, but protects the identity of his bosses. “Triple Agente” is a spy story but it is also a moral story about lies and false pretenses. Based on the development of a couple’s life and on the premises of a world conflict, the experience of an intimae odyssey is described.
