Decoded - ICFF - Lavazza IncluCity.

PLOT : During the global turmoil of the 1940s, deciphering enemy communication codes quickly and precisely became critical. Rong Jinzhen, a reclusive mathematical prodigy, had shown extraordinary talent from a young age. After inadvertently solving a notoriously difficult problem assigned by his university professor, he drew the attention of influential figures and was recruited into a top-secret intelligence agency. Thrust from isolation into a high-stakes world of surveillance, strategy, and psychological warfare, Rong is forced to confront the limits of his mind and the weight of his role. Decoded examines how one man’s intellect is drawn into the unforgiving machinery of war, where numbers and logic become tools of power.
