Espionage is a universe in which French creation regularly takes off. Available on February 18, 2022 on Amazon Prime Video, the “Totems” series will transport us to the middle of the Cold War and reveals its great ambition in a first trailer.
Spies are popular
The Office of the Legionsndes and At the service of France do you miss? You will be served, the thriller dimension of one and the 60s of the other seem to have found their way into the series Totems, a French creation that we will soon be able to discover on the Amazon streaming platform. Totems, animated by an impressive cast will stick us to the coattails of Francis Mareuil, a young scientist recruited by the intelligence services and who will fall in love with a Russian pianist, forced to work with the KGB.
Espionage, romance, all in the midst of the Cold War, when the intelligence world lived to the rhythm of the USSR. It is in any case all the period that takes Totems at At the service of France, because for the rest no laughing matter. The atmosphere is indeed serious, tense, deliciously cold.
Totems, stars for a dangerous plot
In a first trailer (at the top of the article), we thus discover Niels Schnieder in the skin of this young French spy caught up in a dangerous game. Under the orders of his superior Charles Contignet (Lambert Wilson), we see him immersed in an intrigue concerning a mysterious space project. There thus seems to be something of a “Phenomenon” in this character, the character played by Sara Giraudeau in The Office of Legends, and that is not displeasing. Love will thus come and put its two cents in missions that promise to be exciting and perhaps spectacular.
Also in the cast are José Garcia and Ana Girardot. Stars surrounding the young Vera Kolesnikova, Russian actress and model who performs Lyudmila Golubeva, the pianist at the center of Totems. She will not be too out of place, since she was already there for the fifth season of the Legends Office, in the role of Caesar’s girlfriend.
