Inside the Twisted Story of A Couple of Lies

A Couple of Lies centers on two couples whose seemingly perfect holiday home exchange takes a sinister turn as hidden secrets begin to emerge.

Helene (Frida Gustavsson) and Carl (Fares Fares) leave their home in Stockholm’s archipelago behind for a few weeks in a sun-soaked Sicilian villa. In return, they swap homes with Scarlett (Emma Appleton) and Adam (Jakob Oftebro), a couple they have never met before. What initially appears to be an idyllic arrangement soon becomes far more dangerous than either couple expected.
