WWII. April 9, 1940: Nazi troops invade Norway to seize iron, thus violating the neutrality of the Scandinavian country in the war. It is precisely the exploitation of this mineral that is the company that leads the banker Juan Gabriel Borkman to dream of an investment of disproportionate returns.

The scammer and, of course, also the scammed, with one thing in common: greed. And a con man later conned by a superior force, Nazism.
