  • More about The Lie


Two sisters, Joan and Kathleen, are drawn closer together by a chance encounter and a promise of a comeback concert. However, a figure from Joan's past threatens to drive them apart as they excavate the lies that bind them. A more profound truth threatens to drive them apart.

Joan, a former singing sensation of the 1940s and 1950s, now struggles to make ends meet in a lonely and impoverished existence. However, a chance encounter offers her a lifeline: a comeback concert and an album that could revive her career. Meanwhile, her sister Kathleen, a successful medical researcher, is offered the directorship of a prestigious institute in Los Angeles after a recent breakup with the love of her life.

Over time, Joan and Kathleen grow closer, forming a strong bond. However, their happiness is threatened when a figure from Joan's past resurfaces, casting a shadow over their lives. As the sisters delve into the web of lies that have bound them together, they uncover a more profound truth that could tear them apart.

Joan's journey is a poignant exploration of the complexities of sisterhood, forgiveness, and redemption. She must confront her past demons and learn to let go of the pain that has haunted her for years. Kathleen, on the other hand, faces her own challenges as she navigates the treacherous waters of love and career.

The film is a testament to the power of sisterhood and the resilience of the human spirit. It explores the themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of happiness, and leaves viewers with a sense of hope and inspiration.
