Mata Hari is a 2017 Russian-Portuguese television series, produced by British-Russian-Ukrainian production company Star Media in association with Channel One (Russia) and Inter (Ukraine).[1][2][3]

The series is dedicated to the story of the legendary spy, fatal temptress and passionate dancer Margareta Zelle, better known under the pseudonym Mata Hari, who was engaged in espionage activities in favor of Germany during the First World War.

Plot

Margaret MacLeod, persecuted by her ex-husband, is deprived of custody of her daughter and abandoned to the mercy of fate with no means of subsistence. She becomes a dancer and is desperate to find any other earnings.

Under the pseudonym Mata Hari, Margaret becomes a favorite of the European elite. For her the doors of luxurious mansions and villas open, each performance produces an incredible furore. But the First World War is coming, which will forever change the course of history.

And Mata Hari can barely foresee what role she is destined to play in the upcoming events.
