During WW2 , two British intelligence officers use a corpse and false papers to outwit German troops. In the contest of WW2 narratives,the stoory of Operation Mincemeat is a unique, bizarre and seductive cinematic blend of high level espionage and ingenious fiction, where the stakes could hardly be higher. Michelle Ashford's script fuses multiple strands and moods: tense, romantic, thrilling, unexpectedly funny and endlessly surprising.It tells a richly humman story of the soldiers we seldom see, who fight a diffrent war in the shadows of deception, haunted by the knowledge that certainty and guarantee of success are nowhere to be found.
