Lies & Deceit on Netflix
Lies & Deceit on Netflix – A literature teacher suspects that a well-respected surgeon has drugged her and begins a legal case against him.
It’s simply titled Mentiras (“Lies”) in its original Spanish, which is much closer to Liar, the title of the 2017 British series that Lies & Deceit (Netflix) is based on.
Liar featured Joanne Froggat (Downton Abbey) and Ioan Gruffudd; here, it’s Angela Cremonte and Javier Rey as two professionals at odds over what really went down on the night of their first date.
Storyline For Lies & Deceit on Netflix
A woman is traversing her sea kayak along the rocky shore of the Balearic Island of Mallorca.
Her morning workout complete, Laura (Angela Cremonte) returns to her sunny bayside home, where Ivan (Miquel Fernandez) is packing up his last box.
They’ve split up after 13 years together, and it’s awkward but amicable.
Xavier (Javier Rey), meanwhile, is driving his son Lucas to the high school where Laura is Lucas’s literature teacher.
She and Xavier have flirted before, and today he takes the plunge.
“It’s probably a little early, but if you’d like a drink sometime, I’d be delighted.
She’s Laura’s sister, and a nurse at the hospital where Xavier is a surgeon.
Laura and Xavier meet at a restaurant, they share greetings and laughter.
But suddenly it’s the next morning, and Laura awakens in her bed, groggy and disoriented.
At Xavier’s, he greets his son, all smiles, and later texts Laura.
“Thanks for an unforgettable night.”
He even tells his buddy how much he wants to see her again.
Laura, distraught, visits Cata.
She admits there was wine involved, but that’s not it.
“I think I told him to stop,” she says.
“It’s like it all happened to someone else.”
And in flashbacks, we see more of the evening.
With Xavier’s version of the night differing from Laura’s, and without any physical evidence – Laura’s examination was free of violence, and she tested negative for drugs – the police can’t make any arrests.
Their hands are tied, but Laura’s aren’t.
Still upset, and now feeling more like the accused than the victim, she turns to social media with the story of what she says Xavier did to her.
