ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A homage to the golden years of the silver screen through the adventures of a filmmaker attempting to survive the harshness of Europe between wars. An ingenious novel that portrays the twentieth century through a different and entertaining lens, because great stories shine as much on screen as they do on paper.

Who is Max von Spiegel?

A rogue? A phony?

A man in search of his true identity?

The story of this film director begins in the trenches of the First World War, where he leaves his real name behind. After surviving the conflict, he decides to start a new life in Weimar's Republic, which leads to his participation in the production of the movie Metropolis. There, the great Fritz Lang becomes his mentor, but also his rival, and when the nazis persecute Spiegel, he will have no other choice but flee to Spain.

With a camera under his arm, Franco himself will open El Pardo's doors for him. But Spiegel's adventures wont end there: espionage, betrayal, and his love of cinema will end up taking him to Hollywood, where he might finally find that long-yearned success... but before that, he will have to face his worst enemy once again, Lang.
