Deception

In this intriguing film, an American writer residing in self-imposed exile in London embarks on a unique journey of connection through listening. The narrative intertwines his relationship with three women: his English mistress who finds solace and intimacy within the confines of his studio-turned-sanctuary; a student from his past, whose presence haunts him with unfulfilled feelings of love; and a distant former lover languishing in a New York hospital. As Philip navigates this tripartite emotional landscape, themes of longing, regret, and the redemptive power of human connection emerge. The film subtly explores how the act of listening can transcend physical boundaries, bridging geographical divides and healing past wounds.
