Synopsis
Australian premiere
Marco
Directed by Aitor Arregi and Jon Garaño (The Endless Trench) Marco, the Invented Truth is a gripping moral thriller inspired by the unbelievable true story of Enric Marco, featuring Eduard Fernández in a standout performance.
Intertwining reality and fiction, this fascinating tale of truth and deception explores the story of a concentration camp deportee from Spain who turned out to have never existed. A charismatic man and chameleon, for many years Enric Marco maintained a deeply complex, unimaginable lie: that he had been a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. Building a public persona as one of the 9,000 Spaniards interned in German camps after the Spanish Civil War, he became a prominent and admired figure for his supposed bravery and suffering. Deceiving the public, the media, his colleagues and his family, he rose to the heights of the presidency of the Spanish Association of Holocaust Victims. But one day, when a historian begins asking questions, the truth finally catches up as his intricate web of lies begins to unravel.
