Description

Comedy drama written and directed by Mike Leigh. Secrets and Lies follows Hortense Cumberbatch (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), a successful black Londoner who, after the passing of her adoptive parents, makes an unexpected discovery—her birth mother, Cynthia (Brenda Blethyn), is a white single woman.

Despite an initially awkward meeting, Cynthia and Hortense form a bond, leading to a dramatic family revelation at the 21st birthday party of Cynthia’s youngest daughter, Roxanne (Claire Rushbrook). With strong performances and powerful storytelling, this award-winning drama is a must-watch.
