Introducing

An orphaned heiress is forced to embrace her family’s dark legacy.

Synopsis

In the depths of Ireland lies the remote estate of Knowl: a forbidding, awe-inspiring place - a place of secrets. Knowl is not a suitable home for a young woman, and certainly not for Maud. Recently faced with the sudden death of her father and the inheritance of all his possessions, Maud is alone, vulnerable and has not had an upbringing suited to the demands of society. Her uncle Silas seems ill-equipped to look after her.

“The film is frequently shocking in the way it sidesteps the gentility we tend to associate with period drama to reveal how helpless Maud is when confronted by a rapacious patriarchy : “The law is made and enforced by men.”
Irish Examiner 
The film’s strength is its patient, cunning building of irresistible crackling tension as cruelty and fear become the dominant forces.
The Arts Desk
‘Lies We Tell’ is concerned with the horrors of its period and how often it is that women are betrayed and gaslit by those closes to them.
