The Mole Agent
classifiedParental guidance
When a family becomes concerned about their mother’s well-being in a retirement home, private investigator Romulo hires Sergio, an 83 year-old man who becomes a new resident– and a mole inside the home, who struggles to balance his assignment with becoming increasingly involved in the lives of several residents.
Sergio is 83, not 007, and not an easy trainee when it comes to technology and spying techniques. But he is a keen student, looking for ways to distract himself after recently losing his wife. What could be a better distraction than some undercover spy action? While gathering intelligence, Sergio grows close to several residents and realizes that the menacing truth beneath the surface is not what anyone had suspected.
A stylish combination of an observational documentary and a spy movie, with sleek camerawork and wonderfully watchable characters, The Mole Agent is a unique meditation on compassion and loneliness that will infiltrate your heart and never let go.
