Words and emotions can be more dangerous than any weapon...
We are at the height of the Cold War. The United States and the Soviet Union are aiming a barrage of nuclear weapons at each other, but the real war is not fought with weapons: in the shadow of mutual annihilation, the superpowers are fighting on the battlefield of propaganda. Sally and Irina, who work as secretaries of the CIA, receive a mission of critical importance: they must smuggle Boris Paster's anti-communist doctor Zhivago back to the Soviet Union, after the CIA believes that it can deliver a shocking blow to the Soviet regime with the help of a masterpiece that ignites the imagination of the Western world.
A difficult task awaits the battle-hardened Sally Forrester and the inexperienced but fast-learning Irina Drozdová, as the Soviet agents chasing the book and its smugglers know no mercy, and their relationship that goes beyond friendship is not viewed favorably by the CIA either.

Our Secret Ways, which has proven to be one of the biggest literary sensations of recent years, is a fascinating and authentic novel about the secret history of a literary classic of the 20th century and the struggle of two strong women for survival in the ruthless world of the Cold War.
