Adapted from Jang Jung-il’s banned novel Tell Me a Lie, LIES follows Y, a high school student, and J, a 38-year-old married sculptor, as they quit their lives to hop from hotel to hotel in an increasingly dangerous sadomasochistic obsession. Directed by Jang Sun-woo, the film is described as "sly, witty, and at once perceptive, moving, queasy, and comically relentless."
