- WINNER: 3 Irish Film & Television awards | Best Director, Best Script and Best Actress -

The daunting, rambling estate of Knowl is no home for a young woman on her own, and certainly not for Maud (Agnes O’Casey, The Miracle Club) - just 18 years old. Freshly burdened with the sudden death of her father, and granted inheritance to his entire estate when she comes of age at 21, Maud is alone, unschooled in the ways of society, and vulnerable. The wolves begin to circle…

In a bewildering turn of events, Uncle Silas (David Wilmot, The Guard) is revealed as Maud’s guardian in her father’s will. A pariah of ‘society’, he is infamous for being a callous and uncaring man.

Silas is furious at being denied his ‘rightful’ inheritance, and in a world designed to constrain women, deploys society’s most underhand weapons to bend Maud to his will.

As family secrets are uncovered, Maud discovers and reclaims her fledgling independence.

Lies We Tell is a chilling and atmospheric gothic tour de force, featuring a star making turn from Agnes O’Casey.
