Pressured by his superiors to disgrace public intellectual Warczewski, a professor and respected writer whom they believe to be a “camouflaged Zionist,” rough security-services colonel Rozek enlists his sexy but naive girlfriend, Kamila, to insinuate herself into the distinguished older man’s life and report on his every move. Not particularly interested in serving communism but eager to please her domineering lover, Kamila accepts the mission, reporting under the code name “Little Rose” (IMDb)
