Shot all in one continuous take, The Truth About Faces peers into the private lives of a mother and daughter living in the wake of a family tragedy. Hanna Hall (Forrest Gump, The Virgin Suicides) and Julie Pop ("Will & Grace") give heartbreaking performances as they grapple with the long-term effects of profound loss.
If all the world's a stage, Patricia Whitfield (Pop) is giving the performance of her life. On the surface, she appears to be a super-mom, keeping it all together despite the fact that the center of her universe, her only daughter Jules (Hall), is moving away to Africa. But beneath her upbeat exterior lurks a painful secret. And secrets can't be kept forever. When a long lost loved one re-enters her life, he exposes the truth about the family's tragic past. With nowhere left to hide, Patricia is forced to face what she tried so hard to avoid - her true feelings and her daughter's new life without her.
