After her successful training, she is sent to Budapest to befriend & seduce an American CIA agent to extract the identity of an American mole in Russia. Did she succeed?
Till the end, we are to be kept guessing whether Dominika is a Russian Patriot or a Double-Agent or is she Triple-crossing for her own benefit, but we were not – the screenplay just keeps you confused.
