Who was Tamar Golan, and why does she not appear in the history books? Was she a Mossad agent, or the lover of an Egyptian colonel or an African ruler? How did she influence Israel’s peace treaty with Egypt?
The woman who wore white and pulled the strings behind the scenes of Israel’s foreign policy invented a different kind of diplomacy, relying on personal relationships, eye contact, and the management of a political and cultural salon in Paris. She succeeded where official channels failed, but her name never entered the official records.
After her death, the film’s director comes across her private archive—diaries, recordings, and photographs. With their help and that of her friends, the film takes us into her secrets.
