The Police’s signature song makes a special appearance in this story of a decent but immature guy in his late thirties who finds out from his secret police file that he might have fathered a son. But this is just the first blast from a complicated past, and the sudden discovery leads him on a self-defeating quest for truth, as he simultaneously becomes obsessed with uncovering the identity of the informer who betrayed him to the authorities. Shot in a matter-of-fact style, exclusively driven by the story’s twist and turns, this drama echoes the multitude of similar discoveries in real life, prompting a burning question: should the past be left buried?
