The Spy is a documentary that portrays the life of Jaime Rocha, an 83-year-old writer who worked for more than two decades as an agent of the Spanish intelligence service. Through his memories and old cassette tapes, secret missions in countries such as Lebanon, Morocco, or Libya are revealed, as well as operations within Spain against threats like the KGB, the STASI, or ETA. But beyond espionage, the story also shows the personal cost of living in secrecy: a family marked by absences, silence, and unanswered questions. A true story of duty, sacrifice, and memory.
