La Vérité is a comedy that explores the theme of lying. It features Vincent, a man who believes that it's often better to hide the truth than to reveal it, especially when it comes to his wife, his best friend... and his best friend's wife.

Florian Zeller 's cult play tells the story of a manipulator caught up in his own game, where everyone ends up deceiving everyone else, embellished by a five-star cast.
