“The incredible true story of the man who fooled an entire country”

In the years after a corruption scandal shook Spain, Francisco Paesa (Eduard Fernández), a former agent of the secret service, is living out of sight, and he is believed dead. Alberto Rodríguez builds the film around the fact that Paesa's old habits of deception never left him, drawing on the true story told in Manuel Cerdán's book. Luis Roldán (Carlos Santos), the figure at the center of that scandal, is the man whose fortunes are tied to his.
