Enric Marco

Tania Head became a household name as a 9/11 survivor, celebrated for her miraculous escape from the very floor the plane hit. Her story of resilience, coupled with the heartbreaking death of her fiancé, Dave, moved the nation. As president of the Survivors' Network, she was a symbol of American strength, a fixture alongside political elites at Ground Zero. The illusion shattered in 2007 when a New York Times investigation proved her story was a lie: her career, her fiancé, even her identity.

Enric Marco, ex-president of the Spain’s main deportees’ association, embarks on a car trip to Germany, a demythologising journey into his past. Two years earlier, a historian had shown that Enric Marco wasn’t the member of the Resistance he had claimed to be, and that he’d made up the stories of his experiences in a concentration camp that he had been recounting on television for years. Now, Marco retraces the route of his 1941 train journey as part of a convoy of workers sent by Franco to Hitler, in the middle of the Second World War.
