Garbo: El Espía plot
Portrait of Spaniard Joan Pujol Garcia, who fought in two wars on both sides without ever picking up a gun. During World War II, he served as both the German star spy Arabel and the British star spy Garbo. He got his British code name because his bosses thought he was the best actor in the world, so big was the web of lies that he told his German superiors. "The bigger the lies he told, the more they believed him," one of the espionage experts in the film says with apparent pleasure. In addition to these interviews, often filmed against colorful backgrounds, the film mainly tells Pujol's story through black-and-white archive material.
