The Beautiful Lie

The Beautiful Lie (2015)

EndedScripted showDrama, Romance

A contemporary re-imagining of Tolstoy's 'Anna Karenina' that explores over six episodes the different kinds of love and all that goes with it; family and loyalty, marriage and seduction, passion and obligation, jealousy and envy. This is a timeless love story that asks the questions; is there such thing as a soul mate? And would you destroy your life to be together? But it is more than a great love story. It's a sprawling saga of adultery, scandal, manners and mayhem — about the fates of three enmeshed families across three generations. (6 x 60min)
