SYNOPSISBased on true events, the film explores the story of a concentration camp deportee from Spain who turned out to be fictitious. This is the account of the life of the immensely charismatic man who for years served as the self-elected speaker of the Spanish Association of Holocaust Victims, and who maintained, before the public and even within his own association, as well as within his family, a highly complex fabrication. He claimed to have been a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp—which turned out to be a lie.
“Aitor Arregi and Jon Garaño deliver a surprisingly entertaining take on a wild true story (…) dynamic, twisted and blessed with the kind of performance by Eduard Fernández that should get him all the awards out there.”
