The much-talked-about thriller drama is slated to release on the 8th of June and will be available exclusively on BookMyShow.
Plot
Enric Marco, a prominent Spanish trade unionist and public figure, garnered national attention and widespread admiration by presenting himself as a survivor of Nazi concentration camps during World War II. For years, Marco captivated audiences with moving speeches, harrowing accounts of his imprisonment, and passionate advocacy for historical memory and justice. He frequently appeared at schools, memorial events, and in the media, recounting what he claimed were firsthand experiences of suffering under the Nazi regime.
Marco asserted that he had been deported to Germany during the war and imprisoned in the Flossenbürg concentration camp. This was a narrative that positioned him as a symbol of resistance and resilience.
His claims elevated him to a place of honor within the Association of Survivors of Nazi Camps. There he served as president, and helped shape public dialogue around Spain’s role in WWII.
However, in 2005, historian Benito Bermejo uncovered the truth: Marco had fabricated his entire story. Archival evidence revealed that he had never been held in any Nazi concentration camp. While he had spent time in Germany during the war. It was as a volunteer laborer under a program encouraged by the Franco regime. Not as a victim of Nazi persecution.
The exposure of Marco’s deception sent shockwaves across Spain and beyond. This triggered outrage, disbelief, and a deep sense of betrayal among Holocaust survivors, historians, and the public. The scandal sparked urgent conversations about memory, identity, and the ethical responsibilities tied to representing historical trauma.
Though Marco eventually admitted to lying. He did defend his actions by claiming he aimed to raise awareness. And how he wanted to educate younger generations about the horrors of fascism. Yet, his explanation is met with criticism and condemnation. His story remains a controversial chapter in Spain’s modern history.
