On holiday in Mykenos is Charlie, a promiscuous, unsuccessful, left-wing actress, in search of commitment – but to what and to whom? Kurtz in an embattled Israeli immigrant and an officer of Israeli intelligence, whose job is to stop the bombing of Jews in Europe. Michel is the cover-name for the Palestinian boy who, with his brother, has come to Europe to make the world listen to his people’s agony. Joseph is the name given by Charlie and her friends to the handsome, solitary bather lying on the beach at Mykenos, who seems to need nothing but his water bottle and little library of left-wing literature. And Helga is an educated middle class German girl who believes that only action can speak for ideas.  If you enjoy Le Carrè’s work: https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/dvd-the-russia-house-sean-connery-michelle-pfeiffer/
