Experiencing Interruptions?

Grey Lies

DCP Available

How long can secrets survive in a relationship? When do white lies turn dark? Laetitia's and Delano's bond, once unbreakable, now feels like a fragile façade. Is this just a phase, or does Laetitia have more to tell? Whose side is her friend really on? Her psychiatrist senses there's more beneath the surface — a storm waiting to break — and soon, Laetitia will find herself caught in a web spun out of delicate touch lingering a few moments too long, dangerous lies and a dance with the devil. Who can we trust if even our loved ones are waiting for our castles to crumble? As lies unravel, truths surface — each more dangerous than the last. How much risk are we willing to take before we find ourselves escaping into the night, haunted by betrayal, violence and the person we once trusted most?

Director Biography - Enrico Saack

Enrico Saack is a director, screenwriter, and producer whose roots in theatre continue to shape his cinematic vision. Across his films, he has forged a voice that lingers in the space between mystery and psychological drama, probing the delicate threshold where reality meets imagination. His work unfolds with a quiet, immersive intensity: light, sound, and silence are orchestrated to pull audiences into the intimate, often fragile inner worlds of his characters, where betrayal simmers, power is wielded and abused, and the mind teeters on the edge of fear, obsession, and fractured perception. Saack is less interested in neat resolutions but rather the reverberations of a story: the entangled emotions, moral tremors, and fleeting ambiguities that haunt the mind long after the screen goes dark, leaving shadows and echoes of manipulation, vulnerability, and fractured psyche that continue to stir thought and feeling.
