Ein perfektes Leben

French countryside. Winter. A ringing phone. Jean-Marc Faure's life: a busy UN doctor, a loving husband, a respected friend. Except Faure's actual work involves faking international trips and forging professional connections. A grim, proceduralized take on pathological lying from the early aughts.
