A freelance journalist risks his standing at his magazine to expose a colleague's potentially fabricated reporting.
The story
Freelance journalist Juan Romero works with fellow reporter Lars Bogenius on an article for Die Chronik, described as Europe’s largest journalistic magazine. Romero notices inconsistencies in Bogenius’s accounts and begins investigating on his own. Suspecting a serious scandal at the publication, he alerts the editorial staff in an attempt to stop their jointly written story from being published. Senior management dismisses his concerns as jealousy between colleagues, leaving Romero with the difficult task of proving his suspicions through journalistic means.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
While working together on an article for Die Chronik, Europe’s largest journalistic magazine (a reference to Der Spiegel), freelance journalist Juan Romero (a reference to Juan Moreno) notices inconsistencies in the accounts of his colleague Lars Bogenius (a reference to Claas Relotius; “bogus” means “fake” in English). Romero starts investigating on his own and uncovers a potential scandal within his own publication. When he lets the editorial staff in on his suspicions in an effort to prevent their jointly written story from being published, the senior management dismisses his concerns as jealousy between colleagues. Romero has only one chance: he must bring Bogenius down using journalistic means.
