Marco, the Invented Truth

Marco, la Verdad Inventada

Spain 2024 Fiction cor 101 min.

Based on true events, the film tells the story of a concentration camp prisoner —who never existed. For years, the charismatic Enric Marco managed to maintain a complex lie in front of public opinion and even among his own family: he claimed to have survived a Nazi concentration camp. He even rose to the presidency of the Spanish Association of Holocaust Victims, becoming a prominent and admired figure for his supposed bravery and suffering. Until one day, a historian discovered that his survival story was, in fact, a complete lie.
