A master con artist manipulates multiple women by inventing false identities and lives.
He goes by the names of Alexandre, Ricardo or Daniel. He calls himself a surgeon or an engineer, Argentinian or Brazilian. He simultaneously lives with four women, adapting his story and personality traits to each one. A first-person documentary investigation into an impostor with a thousand imaginary lives. Balancing multiple names, nationalities and entire identities, this man manipulates multiple women across the world – first into loving him, and then into living with him, having his children and giving him money. How far would you go to become someone else? That is the question put forward, and investigated by journalist Sonia Kronlund, in this fascinating journey through the loves, crimes and choices of a master con artist.
"One of the most engaging, appealing and delightful pieces of documentary filmmaking of the last few years."
