Iosi, the repentant spy tells the story of an agent of the Argentine intelligence service who for several years infiltrated the local Jewish community to obtain sensitive information, which could have been used to perpetrate the worst terrorist attacks in the entire American continent before the fall of the Torres twins. Afflicted by the events of his past, Iosi will try to achieve justice as he seeks to preserve his life and that of his family.
The fiction, which was presented in the last broadcast of the Berlinale Series, will have eight episodes coming to Prime Video on April 29. The cast of the series includes Natalia Oreiro, Gustavo Bassani, Mercedes Morán (Las Rojas), Alejandro Awada (History of a Clan) and Carla Quevedo (The Secret in Their Eyes) in the main roles.
Iosi, the repentant spy, is based on the book by Miriam Lewin and Horacio Lutzky and is scripted by Sebastian Borensztein, with whom Andrés Gelós, Natacha Caravia, Sergio Dubcovsky and Daniel Burman himself, director of the series, collaborated.
The rest of the cast is made up of Minerva Casero (Argentina, land of love and vengeance), Marco Antonio Caponi (The Odyssey of the Giles), Daniel Kuzniecka (Ashes of Paradise), Matías Mayer (Maracaibo), Juan Leyrado (A Rooster for Aesculapius), Damian Dreizik (The Forgotten Ones) ), Carlos Belloso (The Odyssey of the Giles), Roly Serrano (El Marginal) and César Troncoso (Underground Childhood).
Lewin and Lutzky's book is the result of a journalistic investigation into the incredible story of this spy that the same Argentine police infiltrated into the Jewish community, whose information could have served to perpetrate the blasting of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA), in which nearly 100 people died . This happened on 18 July 1994, two years after a first attack, against the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, on 17 March 1992. Iosi learned Hebrew and joined as a member of the community, and in the process he obtained plans of the AMIA building.
