In 1969 a Catalonian man holding a moustache names Enric Marco finds himself inside a demonstration against police of the Franco regime. After he takes a book dealing about World War II and discovers the crimes doing by nazis inside concentration camps. Gradually he constructs his story the one of a man who have fought with Republicans during Spanish civil war and deported in the Flossenbürg concentration camp in 1943. After the Spain democracy restoration Enric Marco writes in biography, speaks about his story to fascinated children and gives conferences. Becoming president of the association of Spanish concentration prisoners he wants to invite the Prime minister Zapatero in a ceremony dedicated to victims o fthe nazism. But an historian specialist of World War II analyzes archives coming from the Spanish of foreign affairs and discovers another truth. Enric Marco didn't belong to Republican forces and he has gone to Germany voluntarily under an agreement concluded between Franco and Hitler in August 1941. On place he should work for Military German industry but he has been arrested by gestapo because he tried to make troubles among others volonteers workers and stays in jail until 1943. Eduard Fermandez performs perfectly an ordinary man face to face with himself becoming an outcast ready to fight against those like the writer Jaime Cercas who don't believe to him. Enric Marco has sold all his story a fake new to producers for many money showing us that he isn't attracted by the bottom just by the form following the way as Donald Trump builds facts in America.
