The Lies Between Us
Three friends. Three secrets.
by Zoë Bell
A thought-provoking and touching drama about pretending to live the perfect life – while building it all on lies. Amber, Josefine and India are best friends. They confide in each other and share all the ups and downs of life. Or do they? All three of them claim that their relationships are happy – but behind the scenes the reality is quite different. Amber says that her husband worships her like a princess – but in reality she’s terrified that he’s no longer attracted to her. She doesn’t tell her friends. Josefine jokes that her life is nothing but dirty laundry and TV dinners – but secretly she feels neglected and unloved by her husband. She doesn’t tell her friends. India claims that she and her boyfriend are at an amazing place in their lives – but the truth is that she’s completely bored and has become obsessed with her boss. She doesn’t tell her friends. Why can’t they share these worries with each other instead of faking the perfect life? All three women carry secrets from the past that affect their actions in the present and make them desperate to stage the perfect facade.
