Secrets & Lies
ComedyDrama142 min
After growing up apart, Hortense tracks down the birth mother who gave her up as a baby. The woman she finds is Cynthia, a fragile, talkative London factory worker already struggling with her own family, especially her tense relationship with her daughter Roxanne. What begins as a private meeting opens old wounds and sets off new strains, because Cynthia keeps the reunion secret even as it starts to reshape her life. As relatives gather and long-held resentments surface, the family’s everyday frictions turn into a reckoning over class, parenthood, and the things everyone has avoided saying aloud.
