The Mole Agent
El agente topo
A private investigator hired to check on a woman's mother recruits a courtly 83-year-old widower to go undercover as a resident of her Chilean nursing home. His gentle spying turns into something unexpectedly moving. A charming, bittersweet documentary.
Why it’s here
When a daughter becomes concerned about her 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.
