Just as he was unaware of the colonial reality and ignorant of Muslim culture in Cairo, OSS117 is completely oblivious to the cultural and political changes happening in the world of the1960s. Assigned to capture Von Zimmel, a former Nazi, he is forced to team up with Dolorès (Louise Monot), an attractive Mossad lieutenant, and Von Zimmel’s son Heinrich (Alex Lutz), a young hippie rebelling against his father.
