## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

East Berlin winter. A torn press pass flutters past an empty guard tower.

A physicist stages defection to steal the resin formula, but his fiancée books the same train, convinced he’s gone for good. Their compartment window frames Iron Curtain barbed wire.

Hitchcock hands espionage the same geometry lesson North by Northwest once gave geometry.

**Mood tags**: outsider, paranoid, slow-burn
