The Beautiful Lie is a story about life and all that goes with it; family and fidelity, seduction, commitment, jealousy, envy, obligation and mad passion. Love that saves and love that destroys. Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is the greatest relationship drama and The Beautiful Lie is an Australian reimagining of this story set in contemporary middle-class life, exploring the love-lives of both 'happy' and unhappy' families in all their mess and grandeur.
