They Know We Know They Lie

'They Know We Know They Lie' intertwines three narratives that navigate the shifting realities of contemporary life, where personal and collective memories intersect with economic and social upheavals. Through fragmented reflections and glitching perspectives, the film delves into experiences of disconnection and entrapment in a rapidly changing cityscape. Exploring themes of debt, credit, intimacy, and alienation, it reveals how homes—once spaces of belonging—have become stark symbols of inequality.
