The movie <Elegant Lies> conveys a strong reverberation and emotion through the process of uncovering the heartbreaking truth of Heaven and Earth, who passed away first. Chunji was the youngest to laugh and talk less at school, but to her mother and older sister, she was the sweetest and kindest youngest. For this reason, the fact that Cheonji chose death on its own, and the reality that they do not even know the reason, remains an indelible pain and question for the family. Also, I think it has nothing to do with the death of Heaven and Earth because it did not directly hurt them, but the truth is that no one is free from the guilt of indifference and indifference. Beginning with the death of Heaven and Earth, where even the closest family and friends could not communicate properly, <Elegant Lies> is a story of all of us who have many relationships, but it is difficult to share true communication within them, and forms a broad consensus.

"Elegant Lies" tells the story of Hyun-sook and Manji who look back on themselves as mothers and older sisters as they search for the cause of Cheon-ji's death, and Hwa-yeon, who also wanted to be the object of interest and understanding from someone. > delivers a deep impression with a message that naturally permeates into the heart even without trying to teach it. Through this, <Elegant Lies>, which gives a warm word to everyone, will warm the hearts of all of us who need sincere communication, interest and understanding this spring.
