Directed by Jean-Paul Salomé

Drama / Thriller
aka: Le Caméléon

Film Synopsis

In 2000, a young man comes forward and identifies himself to the Spanish authorities as Nicholas Mark Randall, an American citizen who has been missing for four years.  The Spanish police are sceptical about the man's story - he claims to have been kidnapped by a mysterious sect - and believe him to be an impostor.  They are therefore surprised when Randall's sister appears and takes him back to the United States, where his entire family recognises him.  This miraculous return from the dead comes to the attention of the FBI.  Agent Jennifer Johnson is sent to uncover the true identity of the revenant and explain the strange behaviour of the Randall family.
