The English undercover agent, Mark Kennedy, infiltrated the Danish left wing for a number of years. Disguised as a climate activist, he began friendships and love affairs with the people he supervised. He participated in demonstrations when the Youth Center was cleared, and planned protests for COP15 in Copenhagen - all with a hidden agenda. Four young Danes are now coming forward and telling the story of the time they met Mark Kennedy and let him into their lives. And about the consequences of having been very close to him, without knowing his true identity.
