Synopsis
The movie is about an assassination attempt on Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin and Franklin Delano Roosevelt during the Teheran Conference 1943.  "Teheran 43" starts in 1980 in Paris. The memories of hero Andrei take the story back to 1943. The Germans planned to assassinate the three men. 37 years later, the German agent Max lives with his former neighbor Françoise, a young and charming Parisian woman, who hides him. But another Nazi, Scherner, is hunting down Max who failed to carry out the planned assassinations. Max trusts Françoise, but he doesn’t know that she works for Scherner. Another leading plot in that movie is the romance between Andrei and the French woman Marie in 1943, followed in 1980, when Andrei meets Marie’s daughter Nathalie.
