Operation Sartorial follows an Indian intelligence operative navigating the Soviet Union of the 1970s, moving through hotels, cafés, streets, the Moscow Metro and railway stations as an unseen mission gradually unfolds. Beneath the restraint of tailored clothing and quiet observation, every sartorial detail becomes a form of coded communication — a tie clip, pocket detail, scarf or accessory carrying meaning for those who know how to read it. Told through glances, gestures, surveillance and movement rather than conventional espionage action, it is a story about identity, discretion, and the thin line between the man and the role he has been sent to play.
