San Psema | Like a Lie

Petros, a successful ad executive, has raised his daughter Alice alone since his wife left years ago. To protect her feelings, he tells her a lie — that her mother works in Africa and sends letters, which Petros writes himself.

When Alice turns six and expects her mother’s return, Petros meets Zoe, a young woman whose own mother also abandoned her. After a misunderstanding, Zoe visits Petros to apologize — on Alice’s birthday. Seeing Zoe, Alice believes she is her mother.

Unable to tell the truth, Petros goes along with the lie. As Zoe moves in, the deception grows, leading to unpredictable situations and a complicated love story full of twists and emotion.
