But, after...
...Dutch college professor and novelist who hears of the legendary Dimitrios Makropoulos in Istanbul, and begins a search for biographical material which leads him across tense, 1938 Europe to Paris and a meeting with the ruthless spy. The fabulous, impossible plot unwinds in smokey cabarets in Athens, on the slick, rain-shiny streets of some hiding city, and on trains rattling through electric nights towards Paris...
