The film ‘The Imposter’ tells the unlikely but true story of how one Frenchman convinced a Texas family he was their son who had gone missing three years earlier.

And Frederic Bourdin remained with the family for five months playing the role of the Barclay family’s son Nicolas until his true identity was uncovered by a private investigator.

It is a mesmerising, compelling thriller which raises many questions.
