In the near future, private detective Aline Ruby and her android partner are hired by a wealthy businessman to track down a notorious hacker. On Mars, they descend deep into the underbelly of the planets capital city where they uncover a darker story of brain farms, corruption, and a missing girl who holds a secret about the robots that threaten to change the face of the universe.

Writer/director Julien Rappeneau's follow-up to his 2016 debut hit Rosalie Blum, OF LOVE AND LIES is the uplifting story of irrepressible 12-year old Théo. Théo wants nothing more than to offer hope to his disillusioned father, Laurent, when an opportunity comes for Théo to try out for the youth training programme of English football club Arsenal. Despite showing obvious talent, he's rejected for being too small, so Théo impulsively articulates a well-meaning fiction... one that quickly spirals and overtakes not just his life, but all those around him. As with Rosalie Blum, Rappeneau demonstrates skill at bringing empathy, humour and charm to the lives of ordinary people with this rousing and heartfelt story. Its timeless message of determination and community will speak to viewers of any age - or size.
