Is reality a personal thing?

Marco likes the spotlight, and dramatic stories are for him a viable mean of obtaining it. In his youth, he tries his hand at telling imaginary feats of heroism, but later he will fly even higher, so close to the sun indeed. He will become the president of an association of deportees: a much loved president, working tirelessly and effectively to raise the profile of the association. Problem is, he's not a deportee.His story reminded me of the lady who pretended to be black, in the strict sense that Marco too believes strongly in the cause, and believes himself to be useful to it: the lady probably believed it was just an accident of birth that made her be actually white, Marco similarly believes that him not being a deportee is just a detail, an accident of history. He will go to great lengths to reconcile his personal truth with the "real truth", or more exactly with the public truth, the mediatic narrative.This is a character study, not a thriller, albeit there is strong tension in the first half. Ultimately, the authors tell us, what we present to the world is never truly what we are: Marco just went a bit higher, just a bit too close to the sun.

The film is based on real events that methodically documents Marco's surprising claim of survival during the horrors of Nazi concentration camps.

Inspired on the true story of Enric Marco (Eduard Fernández), who lives with his faithful wife Laura (Nathalie Poza). Along the way, the story exposing the lie of Enric Marco, a Spanish trade unionist who falsely claimed surviving Nazi concentration camps, serving as president of a Holocaust survivors' group. He's a peculiar man who, disguised as a Holocaust survivor, crafted a sophisticated narrative that ensnared not only himself but an entire society craving for heroes.Eduard Fernández deservedly won the 2025 Goya Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Enric Marco, a supposed survivor of the Third Reich's concentration camps. He even became President of the Friends of Mauthausen and other camps, but it turns out he had never been in a Nazi concentration camp.A splendid period piece about a stirring story, well written and directed by Aregi and Agaraño (The Endless Trench, The Giant), 'Marco' tells the true story of this great impostor from his years of maximum prestige until his fraud is exposed. Thanks to a prestigious historian, Benito Bermejo, his lies are discovered, and he ends up having to admit everything. Well-intentioned performances of a good cast who truly shine, especially the main actor, the great Eduardo Fernández. Along with the always magnificent Eduardo Fernández, a large group of actors support him, also giving efficient performances, such as: Natalie Poza, Fermí Reixach, Sonia Almarcha, Daniel Ortiz, Chani Martín, Ainhoa Santamaría, among others.The last twenty minutes when the discovery of the lie finally takes place, the film soars to great heights thanks to the great performance of the excellent main actor, the supporting actors and a certain tension that takes place. The film is spoken mostly in Catalan, I would ask that the possibility of dubbing into Spanish be added, as the average viewer, by tradition (the same as those fiilms translated from English) likes to hear them in the Castilian language and not make an additional effort to read subtitles.It displays Javier Agirre's evocative cinematography creating an adequate environment and shot on the actual locations, mostly in Barcelona, Spain. As well as Aránzazu Callejas' sensitive musical score. This story based on true events was professionally directed by Aitor Arregi, and Jon Garaño. They have made notorious films as ¨La trinchera infinita¨ and ¨Handia¨or "Aundiya" (Alzo's Giant, 2017) that had a world premiere in San Sebastian Festival's main competition .

The Truth Will Set You Free"... Or Will It?

Does the end justify the means? Judging by what happens in the upper echelons of power, it certainly seems so. Lies have become a standard tool - practically a trend. Against this backdrop of manipulated truths and uncomfortable memories, this gripping thriller unfolds, not just to entertain, but to provoke reflection.Eduard Fernández is absolutely outstanding. Brilliantly styled, he delivers a masterful performance as a deeply complex and contradictory man - someone ensnared by his own deception and the persona he has carefully constructed. His portrayal is nuanced and powerful, elevating the film to another level.This intense historical thriller isn't just about revisiting the past - it delves into how we relate to history itself: what is remembered, what is hidden, and who gets to tell the story. With a taut script, confident direction, and a towering central performance, the film offers a haunting portrait of the cost of truth - and the human toll of well-told lies.A bold, necessary film. At times uncomfortable, but always thought-provoking.
