He hasn’t been able to tell his family and friends about losing his long-time consulting job weeks ago. Vincent feels pressured into inventing a prestigious new job for himself in Geneva. Telling lies becomes a full-time occupation. To maintain his lost income, he desperately betrays even his friends that trust him in shady investment deals.

About HBSVOD Feature

Vincent’s life takes a complex turn as he struggles to reconcile his past professional identity with the reality of his current situation. After losing his job, he fabricates a prestigious position to maintain appearances for his family and friends. This deception grows into a habitual practice, leading to involvement in questionable investment schemes that put his relationships at risk. As Vincent navigates the expectations of his community and his family’s hopes, the pressure mounts. He faces a daunting challenge: finding a way to be honest about his circumstances while trying to protect the life his family has known. The narrative explores themes of identity, societal pressures, and the implications of living a life built on falsehoods.
