Eye For Film >> Search >> 'The Imposter'

In 1994 a 13-year-old boy disappears from his home in San Antonio, Texas, but three and a half years later he is found alive thousands of miles away in Spain with a shocking story of kidnap and torture... but all is not what it seems in this tale that is truly stranger than fiction.

A troubled woman on the rebound gets in over her head with a seductive stranger before realising that all is not what it seems.

Out-of-work actors pose as ship's stewards after accidentally stowing away.
