Sexy. Dramatic. Tragic. The Beautiful Lie - a six-part tour de force on love and all that comes with it; family and fidelity, seduction, commitment, jealousy, envy, obligation and mad passion. A beautiful re-imagining of Tolstoy's epic Anna Karenina, the story is set in contemporary middle-class Australia and explores the love-lives of both 'happy' and 'unhappy' families in all their mess and grandeur. The drama begins when retired tennis champion, Anna Ivin (Sarah Snook) falls helplessly in love with music producer, Skeet (Benedict Samuel), setting in motion a chain of events that changes their lives forever. The Beautiful Lie features an all-star cast that includes Rodger Corser, Gina Riley, Sophie Lowe, Alexander England and Dan Wyllie.
