During his trial, Pedro Varela declares himself innocent and presents himself as a simple bookseller and historian interested in uncovering the truth about the Second World War.
Archive footage, however, shows him years earlier participating in and encouraging acts of Nazi glorification and spreading denialist and racist discourse.
Tales of a Bookseller, with humour and irony, dismantles the logic of a sinister ideology that still persists in our society.
