Well acted tale of a character getting caught in a tangle of lies in an attempt to boost his reality beyond what it is. Realistic and compelling, the protagonist moves the story along well. An intriguing slice of life.
The truth hurts for a short period of time, but a lie hurts forever. In spite of that some of us choose to live a lie. Wonderful idea beautifully executed.
A clever look at the person we portray ourselves to be, and the person we actually are. An intriguing narrative with strong performances.
